Reporting Problems to the County Councils
A myriad of problems can be reported through the Countly Council websites Problem Reporting Systsems from road condtions, pot holes, flooding, tree problems and paving problems etc.
How do we help improve the condition of the local road network?
-
If you see a problem report it.
-
In order to ensure road problems, pot holes and other poor conditions are resolved they should be reported through the County Council websites. If they are reported then action may be more quickly taken and the more reports the more likely action will be taken. This point isn't made very clear or generally publicised but was pointed out by Cllr Heron at the recent Parich Council meeting.
