Roads - wall maintenance

Walls and fences that surround property and fields are erected and maintained by the land owner.


 Havering's StreetCare Service will maintain and repair:

  • Walls supporting the structure of the highway - these are called highway retaining walls
  • Walls retaining land that has been excavated in cutting to form a highway parapet wall on bridges
  • Walls providing a safety barrier for example a steep drop at the other side of the wall.

How often are they inspected?

All highway structures have:

  • general inspection every two years
  • detailed principal inspection every sixth year.
