Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6526332.
2 x 30mph signs are totally obscured by tree growth as the road changes from national speed limit to 30mps in a residential area on a right bend. There is also a ‘bend in the road’ sign which is completely hidden in the bushes.

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.
