Norfolk County Council have created some new pages on their website specifically for Farming and Highways issues:

Norfolk County Council Farming and Highways information

Farming activities can have a significant effect on both the structure and appearance of our rural roads and Norfolk County Council is keen to work with the farming community to help ensure our roads are safe for all users.

A new section on the website outlines how we can work together to help improve road safety and the roadside environment.

The web pages include information on:

· Cleaning of mud and spoil

· Moving livestock

· Maintaining ditches, drains and hedges

· Fire and straw burning

· Agricultural vehicles on the road

· Use of agricultural road signs

We have annual contracts with local farmers in allocated areas to help with snow clearance so please contact us if you would like to help (particularly in the west of the county) by emailing [email protected]

There is also a list of farmers without an annual contract who can help with ad-hoc clearance when snow is particularly heavy, for example during last year’s ‘Beast from the East’.
