Roads - wall maintenance 


As a local authority 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 in cutting 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.

To report a defect to a retaining wall contact our Structures Team who operate a 24 hour on-call response service.
