Overhanging fence of No 3, Shirley Road, Sidcup

Reported via desktop in the Obstructions on pavements and roads category anonymously at 11:59, Wednesday 14 January 2026

Sent to London Borough of Bexley less than a minute later. Report ref: 8686087.

The fence, with large vegation, is dangerously overhanging the pavement. Makes it difficult to walk on the pavement, and is also worrying that the fence will collapse onto the pavement. I have already reported this issue and was erroneously told that the problem had been resolved. This is incorrect, the problem persists.
