What is included in private road surfacing?

Private road surfacing is the construction or resurfacing of a road that the council does not maintain: shared drives, mews, unadopted estate roads and access roads to farms or business units.

  • Survey of the road, its edges and drainage
  • Quote structured so costs can be shared between owners
  • Surface course laid by paver where access allows
  • Kerbs, channels and gullies
  • Speed humps and markings if wanted
