Barrier is missing leaving a dangerous gap at the top of Mill Lane for children and animals to run directly onto the road. There used to be a barrier here which indicated that you needed to stop. The wide gap straight onto a busy road is dangerous without a barrier.

Dear Highways Team,

There used to be a barrier at the top of this road, but it has been removed. This has left a dangerous gap leading directly onto the A47, where the speed limit is 70mph. The gap poses a serious safety risk for pedestrians, and a barrier urgently needs to be reinstated.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
