A dangerous structure is any structure that can be a risk to your health and safety.

Make sure to give us as much detail as possible, including:

• the address or location of the structure
• your name and contact number (this will be kept confidential)
• the name and contact details of the owner of the structure (if known)
• the nature of the structure – the number of storeys it has and its use
• the nature of the danger, including a description of the damage and whether movement is visible (take photographs if you can)
• the nature of the surrounding area – is it near to a road, public space or a sensitive use like a school?
