Exposed dangerous fence with no safety barrier

Reported via mobile in the Structures (eg bridges, fencing, noise barriers) (NH) category anonymously at 11:31, Sun 28 February 2021

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 2576823.

Removal of vegetation exposing unsafe fence. Not been touched for the almost 7 years I have been here. Could let my children play in the area before but totally unsafe now. My garden is now so noisy I have to shout to be heard most of the day. That doesn't include the environmental factors from the pollution which has gotten worse. My neighbour has already brought to your attention. One of your workers told her it is no noisier than before and I think there needs a bit more investigation on this because I know it has got louder and there needs to be a decibel level check to compare the previous levels for that to be proven.
