Pavements hazards and repairs
Trip hazards on pavements are a key concern at all times whilst the problems of weeds, standing water and ice tend to be more seasonal. Trip hazards and other defects on pavements can be reported using the contact us form below. In reporting defects, it is important to be as precise as possible as regards the location, type of surfacing and the nature of the defect. This will enable the problem to be dealt with as efficiently as possible.
Pavements, particularly those constructed of paving slabs, can suffer very badly from overriding vehicles. Residents are asked not to park or drive on this type of surfacing. Please note: In the case of damage caused by vehicles, it will help us, if possible, to report the vehicle number / make or type and other details such as names or telephone numbers seen on the vehicles so that the Council can possibly recover the cost of repairs to the pavement.
Safety at road works
When works are being undertaken on the highway (including the pavement/footway), the organisation, which may include any of the utility companies, carrying out those works is responsible for ensuring there is a safe diversionary route for pedestrians and other traffic and also for a full and satisfactory reinstatement.
Reporting footpath/pavement defects or other problems
To report footpath/pavement defects or any other problems, please use one of the contact methods detailed on the contact page.
