Decision details

Highway Extent Investigation Report:- Old Dawbers Lane, Euxton

Decision Maker: Director of Highways and Transport

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Purpose:

A query was received by the Customer Service department in relation to a grass verge on Old Dawbers Lane in Euxton. The principal lawyer has reviewed the investigation and considers that on balance of probability the grass verge in question does form part of the original highway width and is therefore considered to be part of the highway extent.


The Highway Asset Manager has reviewed the evidence and agrees with this conclusion and as such our adoption records should remain as currently shown with the grass verge as part of our highway extent.


Further evidence may be presented at any time which may cause a further revision but at present the information is as set out above and the conclusion drawn is on balance.

Decision:

John Davies, Head of Highways Network Management, took the decision to approve lawyer's recommendations that a grass verge on Old Dawbers Lane in Euxton does form part of the original highway and is therefore considered part of the highway extent.
