Stevenage Borough Council is responsible for providing boundary markers, fences and/or walls to all of their properties and the council will maintain all the boundaries to the property that the council is responsible for. The repair or the renewal of the fencing or other boundary markers may not include like-for-like replacement.

We are currently working through an extensive list of properties with our contractors Bell Group and Rockwood. They will contact you directly to arrange appointments and discuss access where necessary. We would also like to bring to your attention our new fencing policy below, which details the type of fencing you will be entitled to depending on the boundary type. All properties affected by the new policy will be sent a detailed explanation before we begin the surveys.

If you would prefer to arrange to fit a fence at your own expense, the policy explains the process of arranging for permission to be given. By following this process, you can be sure of the correct boundary lines and responsibilities.
