Reporting of Highways Issues
Parishioners may report faults to the highways such as potholes, flooding, overhanging vegetation or other hazards directly via Love Clean Streets App. There is no need to ask a Parish Councillor to do this; any resident can access the app.
In order to report a matter you will need to know the name of the road where the issue has arisen or the postcode. The reported issue will be allocated a number, which you should retain and the number can then be used to look up on the same app, after a suitable time has elapsed, to see what progress has been made with the issue.
