Section of Parapet missing. Potential risk of fall from height

Reported via mobile in the Structures (eg bridges, fencing, noise barriers) (NH) category anonymously at 18:12, Fri 29 July 2022

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3717041.

Part of the parapet mesh on the over bridge is missing (south section). As a parent of an active 6 year old, a child could easily climb through and fall on to the embankment/A1 below. I’ve just noticed it so not sure long it’s been in this condition for.
