What happens next?

We'll investigate the problem and:

  • If we own and maintain the structure, we'll ensure it's made safe until we can carry out permanent repairs.
  • If we do not own the structure and it's an immediate danger to the public, we'll make it safe then pursue the owners to carry out any further repairs and repay us for the maintenance work.
