  • Thank you for your report. We’ve arranged for an inspection to take place so we can confirm who is responsible for the issue you’ve raised.

    This may involve checking whether the defect relates to the public road network or to infrastructure maintained by another council service, a utility company or other private party.

    We’ll update you once the inspection is complete and we know how the matter will be progressed.
