A grandmother says she may sue Haringey Council after tripping on a "wobbly" paving stone it was repeatedly warned about.

Christina Nolan tripped on the pavement in Southwood Lane, Highgate, on June 23, landing on her face and injuring her nose and knee.

The 81-year-old vice president and former chairwoman of the Highgate Society described how the tumble took place.

"It was a sunny Sunday morning and I was on my way to Highgate Wood to meet a friend for a walk and then lunch," she said.

"The next thing I knew I was flying through the air and suddenly I was on my face on the ground."

Having had a heart attack in the past, she takes blood thinners, which she said made her "bleed like Dracula" after the fall.

"I thought my nose was broken, there was an enormous amount of blood," she said. "It's quite spectacular."

Passers by brought tissues and water and called Mrs Nolan's friend, who drove her to the Whittington Hospital.

Scans revealed no bones were broken but she was left with severe bruising.

Mrs Nolan said a neighbour had contacted the council two weeks before her fall to raise concerns about the paving stone, which he had also followed up.

She added: "That's what concerned me, that it's not getting fixed and someone might fall and have worse luck than I did."

Haringey Council said it fixed the paving stone on July 12, but Mrs Nolan warned she still might sue.

She added: "When I fill in their forms, it states if it's dangerous, they will fix it within 24 hours. About a million kids walk past that spot.

"It has been suggested to me it would get Haringey's attention. It would make a point."

A council spokesperson said they were "very sorry" to hear about Mrs Nolan's injury and wished her a "speedy recovery".

 “We take these issues seriously and always respond promptly to assess sites and carry out repairs," they added.

“Following reports in June, we inspected Southwood Lane, our team ordered the work, and the repair was completed by our contractor on 12 July, within our timescale."
