What is a shared surface?

What is a shared surface?
A shared surface is a cul-de-sac consisting of a maximum of 15 properties in which there are no footways. A 1.8m. wide strip of land around the perimeter of the carriageway is adopted by the Council as a service margin and is part of the adopted highway.


What are my responsibilities regarding the service margin?
The land within your ownership extends to the kerb line and you are responsible for its maintenance including the 1.8m. wide strip that forms part of the adopted highway. There are restrictions on what can be erected or planted within this area. For further information contact Jane Salisbury, Tel (01642) 526727.
