• We’ve had a look at the issue and have now passed your enquiry to our local Roads Team for assessment. They’ll determine what action is needed and we’ll update you once that assessment has taken place.

  Thanks again for taking the time to get in touch with us.

  In the meantime, you can find out more information on a range of topics on our website at www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/roads-and-travel/roads.

• 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.

• We’ve completed our inspection and were unable to log a defect requiring action by the Roads Service.

  In many cases, this means the issue may relate to land or infrastructure that is not maintained by our service. This could include areas looked after by another part of the Council — such as housing, landscape, or waste services — or by a third party, such as a utility provider, housing association, developer, or private landowner.

  If the situation changes, or if you’re able to provide additional information, you’re welcome to get back in touch. However, if the issue continues to fall outside the Roads Service’s responsibility, it will remain with the appropriate service or owner to address.

  Thank you for bringing this to our attention
