Are councils responsible for cleaning roadwork mess?
There’s work going on just behind my house but its causing plenty of dirt, sediment etc. to gather on the road. Can I have the council ensure that something is done about it, such as the builders cleaning up the mess, etc.? It is quite a nuisance and doesn’t make the street look particularly good. And I’m not the only one, a few other neighbours aren't happy either. It’s not the biggest deal in the world but we’d prefer if there wasn’t that much of a mess on the road.
