I have reported this to National power and they say its BT cables, Open Reach say that the Tree needs to be report to Highways and when i go into Highways, its says its not them and directs me to this website. The tree has been hanging on cables for weeks and I have been reporting for weeks. After the storms last night the tree has moved and the cable is hanging lower across the road and could fell and hurt someone anytime. It's Bromley Road if you heading through Little Bromley towards Lawford and the nearest house is Lawford House Farm the sign is at the side of the road after the tree. CO11 2ND. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE PLEASE DEAL WITH THIS.

Those that are unaware of it face the prospect of potential damage to their vehicle or worse if on two wheels. This is a dangerous series of bends. Get it fixed!
