Earlier this year we bought a 3 year old property, I understand that the roads and footpaths haven't been adopted by the council yet. They've only recently finished the last few houses on the project over the other side of the estate.
At the front of our property (and a number of others) the grass from our garden leads on to what I assume is a narrow footpath, divided with a bit of sunken / hidden concrete then it meets the kerb edge.
The issue is that the drainage is shocking on the soil and when it rains it stays wet forever, plus it's a narrower road so people tend to park on it- the upshot is a delivery van did it today got stuck and now it's a real mess. Not sure who the delivery was for and it was a plain van I've been told but I didn't have much hope of getting anything back anyway. Who's responsibility is this piece of land- I'm assuming the building firm? Are they realistically going to come and patch it up?
I don't understand why it isn't concrete like some of the other ones... don't want to have an eyesore out the front but at the same time I'm reluctant to patch it myself because it's not technically my land and it will probably just happen again. Any advice??
