Area overgrown with brambles and fence broken

Reported via mobile in the Overgrown or obscuring view (NH) category anonymously at 09:30, Monday 13 July 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9776055.

The whole area at the bottom of Downside avenue backing onto the Parkway is overgrown with brambles and poorly maintained this land is owned by national highways. The fence is broken and the area is subject to fly tipping and vermin. Since last reporting in October 2025 some of the brambles have been cut back but the area still looks unkempt and uncared for. Please finish the job and repair the broken fence, I live in this street and your area of land is making the whole area look downtrodden, this is not an environment I should have to live in. This land of yours has been in this state and gradually getting worse for a number of years. Please maintain it.
