Report a pavement problem

We are usually responsible for pavements that run alongside roads and some link footpaths.

We carry out regular safety inspections in accordance with our Highways Infrastructure and Asset Management Plan.

Faults can develop between inspections so we encourage reports from the public too.

If your fault presents an immediate danger outside our normal hours, call the police on 101.
