This damaged verge is outside numbers6&8 Swanswell drive GL51 6NA,GCC were due to plant a tree in this location last week,they dug the hole ready then decided the tree root ball was too big and refilled the hole and grass turf,on Sunday a visitor in a heavy vehicle decided to park on the grass verge causing the damage shown.If the tree or a smaller one had been planted this would not have occured,the idea of the tree was to stop this happening but now we have a badly damaged verge.A smaller tree or Bollard could solvethis problem.
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6781353.
