A quick note to let you know that we’re taking enforcement action with this report. Thanks for your patience. As this progresses, we’ll update you when we can, this is a legal process so can take some time.

An officer has inspected the site and as the reported vegetation is not encroaching or obstructing the highway we will not be further pursuing this matter. All signage on approach to the crossing is well visible so we are not concerned with the safety of highway users. If you would like to pursue this issue personally, then we would recommend contacting the owner of the reported vegetation to discuss your requirements. Thank you for reporting this matter.
State changed to: No further action
