Tree leaning about to fall from embankment crushing stock fence to field with stock
Reported via mobile in the Fallen/ Dead Tree (NH) category anonymously at 18:28, Wednesday 28 January 2026
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8790235.
Large tree seriously leaning on the embankment alongside the A66. When the tree falls it will smash through a fence onto a field with horses in - posing a danger to life on the A66. The trees along the A66 embankment are NOT checked or maintained!!! One has bust through my field fence, again posing danger to loose horses into the A66 dual carriageway above.
