Report damaged fences / barriers
Page updated on: 23/10/2024
We use barriers and fences to protect all route users, for instance:
- pedestrians - railings between the pavement and roads
- motor vehicles - crash barriers and central reservations
Unstable fences, walls, barriers and other street furniture next to the public highway can present risks to the safety of highway users.
To report a problem with a safety fence or barrier, the following information would be extremely useful:
- Area Location - street name/address/landmark and use the map to locate or describe where it is exactly
- Location - is it in the middle of the road or near/on the kerb and which side of the road
- Type of barrier or railings - material, colour, pedestrian, roadside
- Damage - description of damage and any obstruction
- Photo - you can take a photo on your smartphone where it is safe to do so and upload it
