A CONCERNED Hamilton citizen has brought up the state of footpaths in Hamilton, claiming they are damaging his motorised scooter which he relies on for mobility.

The resident, who did not wish to be named, said his scooter was crucial to him because he suffers from motor neuron disease and is unable to walk.
