The Highway Rangers are coming in next few weeks!
Please report any defects below to the Parish Clerk via email clerk@mattishallpc.info on the following:
1) Potholes
2) Regular incidents of standing or flooding water – additional inspection of gullies and grips at these sites
3) Signs – ensuring visibility and good condition of Highway signs, removal of illegal signs
3) Paths – siding out and ensuring a safe surface for the user
4)Public Rights of Way – maintaining clear access within the village boundary
Please include the following for each relevant defect:
Potholes – An accurate location, the dimensions - remembering depth, as well as the position on the Highway (i.e. central, wheel track, side).
Regular incidences of standing water or flooding – Location and area affected. Any knowledge of any features which may be blocked (i.e. gullies/grips). State whether the water eventually clears over time and if it only occurs during heavy rain (Recent heavy rain fall may cause issues out of our control. We can clear gulley pots and grips but only within the highway boundary).
Please note the following on ditches, hedges and utilities:
Ditches – In almost all cases ditches are the responsibility of the adjacent landowner.
Hedges – Again, these are almost always the responsibility of the adjacent landowner.
Anglia Water reports can be called through on 0800 771881 and BT defects can be called through on 0800 023 2023 (option 1).
Many thanks
Anita Rose (Parish Clerk)
