Walls and Fences

Generally the walls and fences that surround property and fields are erected and maintained by the land owner.

These are erected to provide security, privacy and to mark boundaries between different landowners.

Haringey Council, as a local authority, will maintain and repair:

walls supporting the structure of the highway - these are called Highway Retaining Walls.
walls retaining land that has been excavated in cutting to form a highway parapet wall on bridges.
walls providing a safety barrier for example a steep drop at the other side of the wall.

Contact us

If you want to report a wall or fence in a state of disrepair please contact us providing the relevant details.

Please note: You should only report a problem if it is causing an obstruction to the public path or highway.
