The council, on behalf of the Highway Authority, will maintain and repair:

• walls supporting the structure of the highway - these are called Highway Retaining Walls.
• walls retaining land that has been excavated in cutting to form a highway parapet wall on bridges.
• walls providing a safety barrier for example a steep drop at the other side of the wall.
• Generally the walls and fences that surround private property and fields are erected and maintained by the land owner.

If you want to report a wall or fence in a state of disrepair please contact us.
