Vehicles are mounting the kerb to pass each other and damaging the kerbs and grass verges

Reported via desktop in the The kerb is damaged/missing category by Louise May at 18:42, Friday 29 August 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8093071.

Our lovely grass verges on Mead Road are being damaged by vehicles mounting the kerb to pass each other. These are usually/often HGVs from Travis Perkins' customers and vans from the industrial estate. Mead Road is overwhelmed by the goods traffic, which is dangerous in a residential street.
