I don't understand why that second step is a triangle not a parallelogram.

Could be easily fixed by building it out a little on the inside

That sounds like shite behavior from the council but (I know this is cliche) it is physically painful for me as a German to look at this wonky-ass stairs ^__^

Living in the UK atm where I have plenty of opportunities (on council-build stairs!) to exaxtly know absolutely weird it feels to walk down stairs where every step is a different length (and sometimes also height), like stumbling through a nightmare ...

Still better than no stairs, obviously ...

This is the kind of national news we need!

Honestly, if he didn't make the first 5 steps so inconsistent it wouldn't have been bad at all.

I can't see the handrail being too high in this case (but I'm just another armchair Muppet), it's just the way the top of the stair is basically a game of hopscotch

It sounds like he's done a solid job of lighting a fire under the council, so good on him I say.

Better to ask forgiveness rather than permission.

Edit: how did I get that backwards?
