I cannot park on my drive due to the overhanging concrete tree where pigeons constantly shit on my car. Not only that it also overhangs in the public layby where people normally park which unfortunately can no longer be done.

  • Thank you for your report which has been forwarded to Highways as the vegetation is growing from private land which the landowner is responsible for cutting it back from the highway. Highways will investigate what action can be taken in relation to the highway. The council is not responsible for vegetation overhanging from private land over a neighbour's property.
