Report a problem with walls, fences, railings and vegetation

Vegetation

If overgrown shrubs or hedges are blocking a road or pavement, let us know and we will investigate.  

We will take action if: 

  • the vegetation is blocking the way for pedestrians or cyclists
  • headroom above the pavement is less than 2.1m or 2.5m on a cycle lane 
  • vehicles have to go over the centre of the road marking
  • cyclists have to cross cycle lane boundaries  

Report a problem with a wall, fence or railing

This could include:

  • crash barriers or pedestrian barriers
  • safety fences
  • guardrails
  • bridge or retaining wall parapet with obvious impact damage or missing loose components
