A couple of weeks ago we experienced some flash flooding. As a result of this there was severe runoff on a couple of very steep recently ploughed and drilled fields near here that deposited 4" of mud on a footpath that was built at great expense for the kids to walk to the local comprehensive school and now the kids have to walk on the road. Who do you think is responsible for the clean up, the land owner (large estate) or council as it seems no one is prepared to do anything at the moment.

Legally Speaking on who is responsible I can’t help you, but if it was my fields it had washed off I would go and clear it up

I would think about buying a direct drill.

If it's on Council owned/controlled land, L would say the neighbouring landowner wouldn't be allowed (or insured) to carry out work on it, in the same way as he wouldn't be permitted to carry out maintenance on a public highway
