    Safety is our highest priority and any animals on the carriage way that pose a risk to vehicles and their occupants will be removed as quickly and safely as possible.

    Reports of issues which pose an immediate risk should be made from a safe place, via telephone to the police on 999, or our customer contact centre. You can use this reporting tool for less urgent reports such as litter, overgrown vegetation or potholes.
