Report an issue on the road or pavement

If

  • an uneven surface is causing a tripping hazard and immediate danger
  • an obstruction on the pavement is causing a tripping hazard and immediate danger
  • mud or slurry on the road is cuasing disruption to the flow of traffic

call us immediately on 0300 123 2025

If there is an obstruction on the road that is not a parked vehicle - call us on 0300 123 2025

If there is a parked vehicle causing an obstruction in the road call the Police by dialling 101

If there is persistent nuisance parking you can report it to our parking team. 

Where we have a high volume of weather-related incidents it may take us longer to deal with non-urgent matters. 

Due to a high volume of drainage enquiries, we are currently working through the backlog. Please be aware that there might be a delay in our response time as we prioritise and work through requests. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

We can only deal with issues on our own road network. Report the problem to the owner if the issue is on a private road or on land owned by an organisation (for example, a supermarket car park).

You can get the Fix My Street app to report issues anywhere in the country. To help you set the app up, take a look at the Fix My Street user guide (MS Word, 5.2MB).
