Rossco Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 I reckon highways should pay for the up keep of fences beside roads or at least half to make roads safer wot are your views they want roads there if the farmers got help to pay for it they mite not lash it up and give the jobs to us boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goaty Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Good theory and practice, but who cares is the problem. If they have budgets to spend or lose they throw it away silly if they have to instead of diverting the resources to make a real difference. Plus they get contractors in with all the paperwork and courses done which is construction or civil engineering firms. On new bypasses and roads they fit then leave to rot and forget. I have a relative who works in highway utilities and I've been told if you are operating on the field side its ok, but on the highway side traffic management is needed. We do need to club together as an industry for the common good. Trouble is none of us are shirt and tie types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premnayloon Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Is the argument not a fence is to keep your livestock in, rather than others out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanessaw Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 It all depends on the maintenance contract left in place when the Highway was built/upgraded and who is responsible for it. Motorways are all managed and part of the responsibility of that is fencing. That is replaced as necessary. As for A roads well the responsibility falls to either the local council or the local Highways England office. It will be up to the landowner to negotiate with them for replacement.

Vanessaw Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 No problem Rossco we do a lot of Highway fencing for our sins so end up involved in the maintenance contracts. Thanks PaulH I have been lurking for a while but at last there is something I know quite a bit about..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
