Highways - Report a Problem
Any issue that is deemed to be dangerous to either private property, the highway or any of its users should be telephoned through on 0345 606 6171 so that it can be immediately assessed and action taken quickly.
We have been told that any report logged via the reporting tool will generate a site visit from one of SCC’s Highways Assessment Officers. Please supply any photographs you may have – particularly in cases of drainage or flooding problems – as in many cases, the flood water will have subsided by the time SCC Teams attend.
Once you have reported the issue could you please forward on to the Parish Clerk the acknowledgement from SCC together with any images you have uploaded, so that the Parish Council can add to our records and ask SCC to link the cases.
