Access to my driveway is achieved via a vehicle cross over.
This has been in place since it was built 40 years ago and over the years the footpath has broken up, so it is now in a poor state and needs to be replaced.
Council are telling me that I am responsible for the costs of all repairs but their publications only cover the costs of applying and building a new one: wholly silent on repairs.
Added to that the deeply unhelpful person I spoke to gave nothing better than "because you are".
Anybody been through this?
