Missing fencing causing issues

Reported via mobile in the Structures (eg bridges, fencing, noise barriers) (NH) category anonymously at 16:00, Thu 4 December 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8502498.

The fixed safety fencing is missing many pieces of wood and in the morning and evening it is causing a strobe like effect in adjacent properties from vehicle headlights on the m66 This is also dangerous as the timber is falling on footpaths and the road on Ferngrove. I have witnessed these being thrown onto the carriageway through the opening.
