Cock Lane from woodland to Pimms Grove corner
Reported via desktop in the Tree blocking traffic signal/sign category by Mrs Vivienne Nash at 14:53, Tuesday 2 July 2024
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6182258.
Every year the overhang from the woods crosses the pavement (dangerously) and has now submerged the bus stop on right hand side when ascending the hill. In addition - above the woods, the pavement outside two houses has a forest of large weeds which should have been dealt with months ago. It looks dreadful.

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 cut back the tree which is blocking the signal, this may involve some traffic management and/or a cherry picker.
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.
