Norfolk County Council Rangers will be visiting Scarning over the two weeks commencing from 16/08/2021, if there is work identified for their attention. Local knowledge is an indispensable asset to them in identifying defects that may develop in-between their routine inspections.
The Rangers priorities are the essential elements of safety on the Highway Network, these are:
Potholes
Regular incidents of standing or flooding water
Mud on the carriageway
If you are aware of anything which the Rangers should be aware of, please let our Parish Clerk know – ScarningClerk@BTInternet.Com
Please note the following on ditches, hedges and utilities:
Ditches – In almost all cases ditches are the responsibility of the adjacent landowner. As the first line of local democracy it is always best if the Parish Council contacts the landowner directly. If the landowner refuses to act on the Parish request we will then pursue this on your behalf (provided we have contact details of the landowner).
Hedges – Again, these are almost always the responsibility of the adjacent landowner. It is always best if the Parish Council contacts the landowner directly. If the landowner refuses to act on the Parish request we will then pursue this on your behalf (provided we have contact details of the landowner).
Anglia Water and BT – Both of these companies respond quickest to online reports, and their preference is for this to be done by locals with knowledge of the location and area. Essentially: if their covers are leaking, loose or broken they are fixed by the utility company – we would fix potholes around the covers as long as they are not loose. Anglia Water reports can be called through on 0800 771881 and BT defects can be called through on 0800 023 2023 (option 1).
