Highways

Exning Parish Council does not have any jurisdiction over the highway – roads, footways, public rights of way, verges.

The principle authority for highway matters is Suffolk County Council. www.suffolk.gov.uk

The following highway issues can be reported directly using the Suffolk County Council online reporting tool:-

• Potholes and other road or footway defects
• Vegetation overhanging the highway, including footways
• Streetlighting malfunctions and other lit signage issues (you will require the sign identifying number)
• Road markings (yellow lines, white lines, zebra crossings, etc)
• Drainage and manhole cover damage
