Hairdresser suffers fractured eye socket after trip on uneven pavement in Cheshire

Tracey Hornby, a hairdresser from Middlewich, suffered a fractured eye socket after tripping on an uneven paving stone in Cheshire. She fell while posting a letter and described her injuries as making her look like she had been in a fight. After initially receiving treatment without an x-ray, she sought a second opinion and was diagnosed with the fracture. Hornby reported the faulty paving stone to Cheshire East Council, which marked the area but did not fix it for weeks. Hornby is considering legal action against the council, citing concerns about the condition of local pavements. The council stated they take maintenance seriously and encourage residents to report safety issues.
