Pavements, Kerbs & More
The links below provide further information on how to report issues to the appropriate authorities, which for most of the topics below will be to Essex County Council via their online reporting systems, or, in a situation of an immediate risk to public safety, to their helpline on 0345 603 7631. Please note that Parish Councils have no additional "hotlines" for reporting issues. We therefore politely request that residents report issues themselves in the first instance. If you get no satisfaction then PLEASE DO REPORT THIS to us. This will help us build an evidence-based picture of where online reporting systems might be failing, so that we can lobby for improvements to the reporting mechanisms.
Pavements, Kerbs & All Other Highway Related Issues
Essex County Council's Highways reporting portal allows for reporting of a wide range of issues beyond potholes. Issues with pavements and kerbs, faded lines, manholes, road signage, overhanging vegetation, roadworks, debris and other obstructions, bridges, bollards and barriers are all catered for.
