    Maybe your local council will be responsible, if its holding up a road?

    Someone will own the land & more than likely its their responsibility to maintain the wall
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.

    It will be down to who owns the wall. If the OP owns it then they are responsible for its upkeep.
