Dig your Ditch - riperian ownership explained

Having had such a dry summer, it is a great time to get out and maintain your ditches and cuverts to ensure that they are ready for the rainfall when it comes.  The below HCC Highways poster and leaflet clearly explains ownership and responsibility.

The fair has it's own website which can be viewed here:
