Delivery driver broke a man hole cover on a shared access drive

[BurtonBoy]

Today a delivery driver broke a perfectly good condition man hole cover (1 year old new build estate). I have the incident on CCTV and have contacted the following people;

Management company that have taken over the new build site,

The developer,

The driver causing the damage,

The water company.

 

Can you confirm who is liable to cover the cost of the replacement?

 

Just to add, the shared access is between property number 1 and 3 on Road A, the delivery driver wasn't even delivering goods to either of these properties. The driver wanted number 2 on Road B which is adjacent to property number 3 but the road is blocked with a wooden beam to differentiate the different road names.

 

Thanks

not your problem ?

 

you've told the management company as this i will guess is a private housing estate and the roads are not council owned? so they will have to argue it out with whomever , the cover could have been faulty too?

Hi

 

I have to agree with dx100uk let the Management Company deal.

 

Just an air of caution with your Domestic CCTV, if you are recording out with your own properties boundaries even if the road outside your property is shared access this is still out with your own property boundaries so you would need to be registered with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) as a Data Controller and there is a cost involved.

There are many domestic CCTV systems on the market to help you protect your home. If you’re thinking of using one, you need to make sure you do so...

i can only speak within scotland, but incidental capture does not require registration with the ICO.

I have domestic CCTV and I had a stroppy neighbour who tried to go down this route with me even sending me a FOI request (laughable), 

 

I found out that as long as the captures off your own property are incidental there is no need to contact the ICO

 

as long as your DVR overwrites your captures every 30 days or so, so you are not storing data beyond that very short period,

 

they will never be interested and you are not liable to react to any queries regarding data protection. 

 

Additional:  this is presuming you have static cameras, there is a law about PTZ (movable cameras) though.
