Serious mud makes footpath almost impassable

At the end of Wheelers Walk, Paganhill, where the footpath goes into the Ruscombe fields the footpath has got increasingly impossible to pass without getting very muddy. It would appear a new spring has appeared or perhaps a water main leak?

The photos here hide much of the mud - what looks like rocks is infact polystyrene put down by folk to try and cross. Metal, material, cardboard and many other things are also being put down by local to try and pass without getting wet.

I have written to the County to see if there is anything they could do to improve this situation? A bridge perhaps?
