Shropshire Council is the local highway authority and is responsible for managing and maintaining the adopted road network within the parish.
Residents can report problems including:
- potholes and damaged road surfaces;
- blocked highway drains and gullies;
- faulty streetlights;
- damaged road signs;
- overgrown vegetation affecting a highway; and
- other road or pavement defects.
The quickest way to report a problem is through FixMyStreet or the Shropshire Council website.
Providing an accurate location and photographs, where possible, will help the responsible authority investigate the problem.
Shropshire Council is responsible for the definitive records of public footpaths, bridleways and other public rights of way.
The Council’s online General Map Viewer can be used to explore public rights of way and other geographic information.
