Report a highway issue to Essex County Council
Please note that Essex County Council can only deal with issues upon adopted highways. This Council is therefore putting together a page which will identify the owner of other assets (it may be a developer or management company) and whilst this is being developed you can ask a question of the Executive Officer of Chelmsford Garden Community Council by emailing her at clerk@chelmsfordgardencommunitycouncil.gov.uk
