What we do on 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
  • Sub-base and binder for new or rebuilt sections
  • Surface course laid by paver where access allows
  • Kerbs, channels and gullies
  • Speed humps and markings if wanted
