Pavements and roads are maintained on a daily basis by Havering StreetCare. We carry out routine work such as:
- cleaning
- patching
- resurfacing
- gritting of roads in the winter months.
In addition we respond to emergency call outs (danger to life and limb) 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Highways Enforcement
Enforcement action areas include public rights of way, highways and highways works associated with new developments.
Countryside staff have a duty to ensure that public rights of way are open and safe for use, free from obstruction and clearly marked. They are responsible for checking that works requested of owners/occupiers of land eg. repair of stiles and clearance of crops have been carried out to a suitable standard.
The Council, as a highway authority, has a duty to maintain adopted highways to safe and serviceable standards. We ensure our highways are free from nuisance, danger, obstructions, unlawful stopping up, interference and encroachments.
