Highway projection

Officers from time to time are required to deal with businesses and individuals who for whatever reason breach the statutory protection relating to highways. The initial aim of officers is to assist businesses and others to comply with their legal obligations without unnecessary expense or hardship. However, ultimately, firm action will be taken against those who disregard the law.

 

Where an offence is being committed, the team will send a formal letter to those responsible requesting that the obstruction be removed within a set time limit. This is followed by a site visit to ensure that the requested actions have been carried out.
