Generally the walls and fences that surround property and fields are erected and maintained by the land owner. These are erected to provide security, privacy and to mark boundaries between different landowners.
If you want to report a wall or fence in a state of disrepair please complete the streetdoctor online reporting form.
The County Council as local 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
- Walls providing a safety barrier; for example a steep drop at the other side of the wall.
