	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2024 answer text <p>Although there is no obligation to report all animal deaths on roads, Rule 286 of The Highway Code advises drivers to report any accident involving an animal to the police. If possible, they should make enquiries to ascertain the owner of domestic animals, such as cats, and advise them of the situation. I recognise the very deep upset that losing a beloved pet can cause – but, given challenges around enforcement – there are no current plans to strengthen that requirement.</p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 01/05/2024 14:06:30 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman

At a national level, the Department publishes statistics on gov.uk on the condition and maintenance of the highways in England.</p><p> </p><p>Ultimately, however, under the 1980 Highway Act it is the responsibility of the local highway authority, in this case the London Borough of Bexley Council, to maintain and manage the highway network they are responsible for. In London, transport is a devolved matter, and the overall state of London’s roads is a matter for the Mayor.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 01/05/2024 12:53:10 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
