A road that is not maintained at public expense by a highway authority is known as a private street, as defined by Section 203(2) of the Act. The responsibility for management of private streets generally rests with those who own properties that either front onto or border the street concerned (known as “frontagers”).</p><p> </p><p>Under section 230 of the 1980 Highways Act the local highway authority has the power, without commitment to adoption, to require the frontagers of a private street to carry out urgent repairs, within in a set time limit, to prevent danger to road users or the public. This is, however, entirely a matter for local authorities.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 26/03/2024 10:35:18 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
