City of Doncaster Council highways maintenance policies and strategies.
Doncaster Council deliver a wide range of work on the public highway, both planned scheme work and reactive maintenance work. Details of our planned maintenance programmes can be found here.
These guidance notes refer to instances where an owner/occupier or contractor of land or property adjacent to a highway deposits soil, mud or other debris upon a highway. The definition of a public highway includes footways, footpaths and adjacent verges, bridleways as well as the road itself whether adopted or not.
Doncaster Council's Highway Communication Plan allows transparent and practical communication to be shared with relevant stakeholders when a major scheme, works or event impacts the highway network. The information in Sections 1 to 6 outline the purpose of the plan, key stakeholders to consider and how information can be shared. Major schemes and works should use the format set out in Appendix 1 for their communication plans. Please download Appendix 1 and populate it with scheme-specific information.
