Obstructions on roads or pavements
Roadworks, skips, scaffolding, hoardings, advertising boards and building materials that block the road or pavement are all considered to be causing an obstruction. If trees or branches hang over the road or pavement they are also an obstruction.
If you want to report an obstruction on a road or pavement you can ring the highways helpline on 0113 2224407 Monday to Friday between 8:00 and 18:00. Please be aware that Monday morning is the busiest time at the contact centre.
If obstructions on roads or pavements are not cleared after we have made reasonable requests for this to be done, we will prosecute the offenders.
