Rangers to visit Langham w/c 26th November

23/10/2012

 
Parishioners are invited to raise tasks for the Rangers by contacting a member of the Parish Council, alternatively you can contact the Rangers directly..

Following a scheduled inspection of the highway, the Highway Community Rangers are due to visit your parish's during the week commencing  26 November 2012

They will be carrying out the maintenance works identified by the Highway Inspector and we would welcome any additional tasks which you feel need attention while they are in the area.

Typical tasks which can be carried out by Rangers are: -      

    • Side out a carriageway or footway ( where an encroachment of silt, debris and weeds etc has reduced the width of the carriageway or footway)
    • Potholes (mostly identified by inspectors but you may wish to make us aware of the locations which are of concern)
    • Clear mud and soil from the carriageway (predominantly in rural areas where farm activity has left  small deposits on the highway)
    • Hand sweep carriageway or footway (the routine sweeping service will continue to be provided by the District Council)
    • Trim hedge to expose sign etc. (purely to free up sign visibility, more significant encroachments can be dealt with via consultation with the landowner)
    • Soil and seed verge (suitable in the spring where localised damage has occurred. Not a long term solution to persistent parking)
    • Strim verge grass (does not affect scheduled Grass cutting but in addition to improve visibility on bends and junctions)
    • Rod and flush drain (offlets and the like at the side of the road which become blocked with silt and weeds)
    • Clean out gully (digging out by hand the slotted iron drain covers predominantly situated in the edge of the carriageway
    • Clear grip (cuttings in the verge to clear standing water from the carriageway. Additional cleaning does not affect the cyclic cleaning schedule of these)
    • Wash sign, bollard or reflector post ( does not affect the scheduled annual sign cleaning)
    • Repair minor kerb defect (loose kerbs can be reset and chipped kerbs can be repaired. Kerb replacement can not be done by Rangers due to our safe digging practice)
    • Repair minor footway surface defects (footway potholes or changes in surface height can be cut out and replaced with fresh material) 
Should you wish to add any work for completion by the Rangers please email these to highways@norfolk.gov.uk including RANGER and YOUR PARISH NAME in the subject title. Please provide as much information as possible including the exact location and specific concerns. I would be grateful to receive your response no later than a week prior to the programmed visit. We aim to provide feedback on the work which has been carried out during the visit this will follow within a few weeks.
