Obstructed pavements

Streetworks, skips, scaffolds, hoardings, advertising boards and building materials that block the pavement should be reported to the highway maintenance team.

An example of pavement obstructions are:

  • a skip or scaffolding obstructing the pavement
  • building materials blocking the pavement
  • an advertising board blocking the pavement
  • banners or bunting causing an obstruction
  • no barriers around streetworks, roadworks or building work is affecting pedestrian safety.

How to report obstructed pavements
