Response times
During the growing season we get a high number of reports. It can take several weeks before we can visit a property.
Once a property is visited, if action needs to take place, the owner has 28 days to do it. If they do not, we may serve a formal notice under Section 154 of the Highways Act (1980). If we still have not received a response, we will arrange for a contractor to do the works. This work is normally scheduled within 28 days. Once the works are complete, we will seek to recover our costs for carrying out the works from the property owner.
