Report damaged fences or barriers

Fences and barriers within the highway may:

encourage pedestrians or cyclists to cross the road at a particular point of safety.
guard against falls.
help prevent vehicles from colliding with roadside obstructions, large drops or watercourses.
prevent access onto paths by motorcycles and cars.
protect the public from exposed work areas or temporary hazards.

Boundary fences or hedges are usually the responsibility of the adjacent landowner.
