Report a problem with verges

Vegetation on the grass verge is overgrown, damaged, or encroaching onto the highway.

Overgrown grass verges can reduce visibility for road users and pedestrians, particularly at junctions and bends. 

If you see any overgrown verges obstructing footways or highways, you can tell us using our online reporting form.

Our online reporting form takes around 3 to 5 minutes to complete. 

How we assess reports

To help us investigate your report, please tell us:

  • where the verge is located
  • photographs if available

What happens after you submit a report

Our Highways inspectors will assess the risk and determine what action is required.
