Hartlepool Borough Council highway policies

Highway policy documents

As the local highway authority, we aim is to keep the highway network, which includes roads, footways and cycle paths in a safe and accessible condition for all users.

To achieve this, we carry out our highway duties in accordance with various policies which provide guidance and standards for officers to follow when undertaking these duties. It is also imperative that these policies are strategically followed to allow for successful defence in court cases when the need arises.
