Information on walls and fences.

Highway Walls & Fences

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.

We will maintain and repair:

• Walls supporting the structure of the highway - these are called Highway Retaining Walls.
• Walls retaining land that has been excavated 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.

If you wish to report a problem with a highway wall or fence you will need to provide:

• Your name, address telephone number and email address (if you have one)
• Details of the location of the highway wall or fence (road/street name, nearest road junction, postcode if known)
