Fence damaged

Reported via desktop in the Structures (eg bridges, fencing, noise barriers) (NH) category anonymously at 18:49, Tue 27 May 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7624783.

Some fence panels have come down along Black Horse Way. These have been down for a few weeks now. Initially checked with Swindon Borough Council and they said it wasn't their responsibility. If you could look at putting these panels back up as soon as possible, that would be great. I know that some of the local residents are worried about deer getting onto the road. Many thanks.

Updates

  • Thank you for contacting National Highways.

    This fencing was initially installed by the contractors when the road was being built. Swindon Borough Council then adopted the road and it became their responsibility to fix the fence. We do have a boundary fence which is visible half way between the damaged fence and the carriageway which will hopefully prevent animal from obtaining access to the motorway.

    Kind regards
