Alley between Long Plough and Brook Street
Reported via mobile in the Hedge problem category anonymously at 22:41, Wed 4 December 2024
Sent to Aston Clinton Parish Council 11 hours later. FixMyStreet ref: 6820822.
Overhanging large bushes stopping street light reflecting down the alley beween Long Plough and Brook Street. This is a busy alley and that has little light after dark in the winter months. The lack of light caused by the ovethanging bushes from the street light in Long Plough takes away all reflected light. But the council should improve the lighting of this very dark long alley.

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. 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.
