Structural issues

What is this for?

To report a structural issue with a highway.

The Highways and Transportation Service, as a local authority, will maintain and repair:

• walls supporting the structure of the highway which are owned by the authority - 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
