The bus stop sign, located at the sports club side of Wendover road, is obscured by over grown trees
Reported via mobile in the Hedge problem category anonymously at 15:26, Wed 12 June 2024
Sent to Aylesbury Town Council 4 months, 1 week, 2 days, 3 hours, 30 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 6099560.
The bus stop sign is hidden by over grown trees. My daughter uses this stop for school and I am concerned that the bus driver will not see it and stop for her (this has happened previously).

A Highway Officer will carry out an initial assessment of the tree, emergency issues will be corrected or made safe at the time of the inspection, if reasonably practicable to do so. In this context, making safe may constitute displaying warning notices, coning‐off or fencing‐off to protect the public from the tree or other suitable action.
If the inspection team cannot make safe the defect at the time of inspection, then they will instigate the relevant emergency call procedures to ensure appropriate resources are mobilised to make the tree safe. Not all Highway Officers are not qualified as tree experts and in some cases they may need to arrange for a tree surgeon to visit the site and carry out a survey on the tree which can take up to 12 weeks.
There may also be occasions when the issue reported will be classified as a minor defect and does not pose any risk to either the safety or the integrity of the highway, these are called minimum recording levels as specified in our Highways Safety Inspection Policy, in these cases no action will be taken.
We do not prune or remove council owned trees to improve natural light for a private property (including obstruction of solar panels).
