‘Road traffic is causing our stone walls to collapse into our fields. Can we make the council repair them?’

Query: Dear Mary Frances, two of our fields have boundaries with a busy main road. The road level is higher than our fields. Over the last few years, due to heavy lorry traffic, the stone walls on the boundaries with the road have collapsed back into our field.
About 15 years ago, the county council repaired and strengthened a full section of the wall. However, since we alerted them to the recent wall issues, they have not taken any action and will not take any responsibility.
