Report damaged fences / barriers

Page updated on: 23/02/2024

We use barriers and fences to protect all route users, for instance:

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
