How To Report HighwaysRoads And Pavements Problems In London
While travelling on the roads or highways we may experience cracks and potholes, a missing manhole or a tree or branch bent over the road. We may also come across certain other problems like an oil spill on the road, a dead animal, a broken sign board / traffic bollard or a barrier/padestrian rail being placed out of its original position. These problems can cause serious accidents, hamper the flow of traffic and are a great nuisance to the travelers. As responsible citizens of the society, we must take a little pain and do what is required of us by reporting the problem to the concerned authority.
