Sinking Pavement

We should all be concerned.
I've noticed a lot of settlement around the Dublin suburbs since last winter.
I've photographed spalling and flaking of masonry and brickwork from garden walls since the spring.
It looks like the deep and prolonged frost caused materials to be damaged and this has shown up as they have warmed up.
The corollary to this may have occurred underground where structures have been loosened by the deep frost and groundwater has carried away material.
This is possibly a normal process and hopefully it'll settle without too much unevenness to paths or damage to superstructure - its almost like watching a very slow earthquake.
Keep an eye on things though...

All advice on AAM is remote from the situation and cannot be relied upon as a defence or support - in and of itself - should legal action be taken.
Competent legal and building professionals should be asked to advise in Real Life with rights to inspect and issue reports on the matters at hand.

I'm not trying to give a false sense of security roker - I find it quite unsettling myself. 
I've seen several houses where it looks like the path has dropped away.
My comments above only suggestions - I'm not a civil engineer.
