Is it the councils responsibility?
Discussion
There's a large dip in the road outside my mums house around a manhole cover. There's a drainage grid at the edge of the road too that is around 3 inches below the road. The road is a 30 to a 60, so people (including lorries) generally exceed the limit before getting to to the 60. Our house is fairly large, and shakes when lorries pass.
I've got in touch with the council, who have apparently checked the road and because it's within their tolerance measures, they won't be doing anything.
My mum is likely to sell up in a few years, and this will surely bring down the value of the house? There is damage inside the house that wasn't there 10 years ago (the house is 100 years old), that could only be blamed on the increase in traffic outside.
Any thoughts on how to proceed?
