Lancashire County Council is the highway authority and so we maintain the highway network. If you wish to report a highway fault or have any query about the highway the telephone number is: 0845 053 0011 or you can complete the following fault form:
We take, process and make decisions about applications for skips to be placed on the public highway. Any Skip placed on the highway requires a permit. It is the skip company (owner of the skip) who must obtain the permit.
When carrying out any building work/maintenance or removal of any part of a property which is adjacent to the public highway (road, pavement or rear lane), the safety of all users of the highway must be paramount. This is achieved by providing safe areas at ground level or a platform at high level. When it is necessary to place hoardings on the highway around the place of work or scaffolding, permission is necessary and can be obtained from the Council, on completion of a form together with a sketch. Once permission has been granted, the conditions attached to the licence must be carefully read and kept to at all times.
