Message from Balfour Beatty Living Places on behalf of Herefordshire Council
You may have seen in the news this week that the Environment Agency and Herefordshire Council are using satellite technology to target sites where soil water run-off is causing big problems for the environment and the county’s roads.
Heavy rain in Herefordshire has led to a number of pollution incidents caused by soil running off into rivers and large quantities of mud washing onto the county’s roads resulting in hazardous driving conditions.
With more rain forecast the Environment Agency and Herefordshire Council are continuing to target landowners to remind them of their responsibilities.
Any assistance you can provide in raising awareness of ditch ownership and maintenance responsibilities would be helpful.
Any dangerous road conditions should be reported on 01432 261800 (24/7).
