Highway searches

You can use the National Street Gazetteer to find out who is responsible for highway maintenance of a street. You can view the information in a map or as a list on their site.

You can contact us if you want to know the extent of an adopted or un-adopted highway (e.g. publicly or privately maintained) in more detail.

Email us with your enquiry and any supporting documents at highwaysearches@kingston.gov.uk.

The information we provide will include a written response. If requested, we’ll also include a Highway Extent plan.

We will send all responses electronically only. Highway search enquiries can take up to 20 working days after we’ve received your payment.

*AT THIS TIME REQUESTS ARE DELAYED DUE TO REDUCED CAPACITY. WE PLEASE FOLLOW UP WHERE NECESSARY. WE APOLOGISE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED*
