Report an issue with a cattle grid

The majority of cattle grids in Hampshire are owned by Hampshire County Council Highways and are routinely cleaned and inspected for damage.

If you have identified an issue with a cattle grid and you believe that it belongs to Hampshire County Council, please report it to us using the form below. If possible, provide photos with your report, as this will help us to locate and assess the issue.

Progress updates after your report

After submitting your report, you will not receive further updates. If you wish to track the progress of your enquiry or provide additional comments, you can do so using our Status Checker. Please do not report the same issue more than once or contact us for general updates, as this will add further pressure to our services.
