Skips and Building Materials
Building Materials on
the Street
The council is keen to see residents
improve their homes and landlords keep their property in good
order.
But bear in mind that it is illegal to store building
materials in the street, have a skip on the highway or use the
pavement and road as an extension to the building site (eg mixing
sand and cement etc) without the council 's permission.
It is not only dangerous and inconvenient to neighbours and
pedestrians, but quite often pavements and road surfaces are
damaged and have to be repaired at the council 's expense.
If you have a problem with the pavement being used as a building
site you can call 020 8430 2000.
If you are about to start work on your property, you will need to
plan where you store materials. |
