    In the OP's case, being a public right of way throws up additional complications in terms of liability to the public. (also does the owner have public liability insurance I wonder?)
    Unless I've missed it, OP does not say it's a public ROW.

    Your local Highways Authority (which is probably your local council) will probably have a Rights of Way Officer. They may be able to advise you on whether it is a right of way maintainable at public expense, or if not, who owns it (they sometimes keep ownership records) and what you can do to get it repaired.

    I would recommend against a DIY repair job at this stage, as you could open yourself up to liability from the landowner and other users if your repair causes damage to the land or anyone using it.

    .

    Might be quicker to look up the website for Nimbus Maps. That website was recommended on here recently and various Forum-ites have been checking it out since (having joined the free level - out of the two levels it does). It's very quick and easy to join and find way round and check out info. for your area/any other area in the country - it collates info. from 25 different sources (including the Land Registry) and should give you a bit of a start on seeing things like the boundaries for properties/whether they are Registered or not/etc.

    If you then decide you want to know who any "private owner" is that comes up for a property - you could buy the info. there and then from the website online (via the Land Registry).

    One can find out some quite interesting info. sometimes on neighbouring properties - and that includes unadopted roads:cool: The owner may (or may not) be who you think it is...

    Mot type 1 would probably be the material to use to fill in.
    Please do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed. ;)

    If you quote me, don't forget the capital 'M'

    Yes, certainly not hardcore, as someone recommended, which gets bounced-out to form a hazard.

    Only last week I had to change a wheel for a lady, whose car had suffered a puncture due to a lump of hardcore being fired into her path by another car.

    In my defence i meant to be used as a base layer underneath gravel rather than just dumping gravel on mud. But in any case, it comes down to, can you get those using it to agree to share the cost.

    One of the out of the way places we lived deliberately left the road with some potholes, stopped any boy racers using the road.
