  • Thank you for making your report. We have asked our inspection team to attend this location and assess the issue.

    If any work is needed, they will arrange for this to happen. Should no immediate work be required we will continue to monitor this during our regular inspections.

    Although we always aim to complete repairs as quickly as possible, timescales do vary as we try to minimise disruption to customers by combining activities into single closures and always ensuring the safety of our people.

    Kind regards National Highways

  • Thank you for contacting National Highways.

    One of our inspectors visited the location and confirmed that there is indeed a dead tree on the roundabout. However, we’ve reviewed the situation and found that the tree doesn’t fall within National Highways area of responsibility. It would instead fall under the remit of the Local Authority.

    Please contact them to resolve this issue. Contact details for local authorities can be found by using the search facility at:
