The old trees have fallen apart and the branches have knocked the fence over partly, leaving a gap at the end of my garden. I have tried to block it off from my side as I am so worried my dog will escape. If more branches fall or there's strong wind the fence looks like it will all topple over!!

This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.

    We already have maintenance work planned in for this area and the issue will be resolved as part of this work. We are, unfortunately, unable to provide you with a timescale for this to be completed, however, all repairs are prioritised using an assessment matrix in line with our Network Maintenance Management Plan (NMMP).

    We will continue to monitor all defects to ensure the safety of our residents as part of the NMMP which can be found online - http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/ transport/ roads-strategies/ highways-asset-management.aspx
