Bough hit by vehicle at least 2 days ago. On a busy narrow road on a blind bend. Branch is dangling above carriageway, you have to drive round, narrowing the road to 1 lane. Busy tourist route with frequent buses & lorries. I can't believe this hasn't been sorted out yet. Highly dangerous especially as pedestrians on the road here (en route to Tarn Hows).
