Driving over pavements
If you see someone damaging or regularly driving over a pavement or verge, please complete a

You should include the following information:
- the exact times and dates
- the name and address of the person responsible, if you know it
- the registration number, type of vehicle, and any phone number or company name shown on the vehicle
- a photo, if possible.
Road or pavement obstruction
Anything placed on a road or pavement without the council's permission may be an obstruction and should be removed. Bushes or hedges preventing the normal use of the pavement, or obscuring a street sign or light, should be cut back.
