100% spot on regarding the councils and what you said about the police, the country roads and ditches are exactly the same here in mid Wales just hate to think what state they will be like in another 20 years, but then its only us farmers that think that far ahead.

Here in the Netherlands it is a combination of those involved who take care of this type of maintenance. We have the national government service for general guidelines for water and road management, the water board for local management and the implementation of work on the watercourses, the municipal service for road maintenance and then also the owners of the adjacent grounds. That works quite well in practice. My father was area manager of the Dutch equivalent of the National Trust and I remember that he always acted as a connecting link between these parties for integrated project implementation on an area basis. And the organizations involved were actually always very willing when it came to carrying out the tasks. In the context of 'nature-inclusive' agriculture, farmers were seen as primary stewards of the landscape and as such received ample financial support for their contribution to management.

I’ve just driven home along a similar road in County Armagh. Avoiding the pot holes is nigh on impossible

In Somerset If there is a ditch on the side of the road the farmer is responsible for it. It’s due to an old law that the original farmers dug the ditch in there own land, piled the soil on there land and then the hedge grew in said pile of dirt. This rule is also applied for boundary disputes. Basically if you have a ditch on your land with a hedge next to it, the side that has the hedge on owns the ditch. Be worth checking the rules in your area so you know where you stand. Hence the farmers own the road side ditches by the hedge/ditch rule. Further to this though, if a road side ditch has been piped and then drains from the road flow into it, it then becomes the council’s responsibility to clean/jet if they are blocked.

I totally agree with your comments Jon and don't blame you for being angry! Its been getting worse for decades and I can remember back in the early 70s, when the council would pay us to clear their ditches and cut the grass verges, but they stopped it to save funding hoping we would just carry on without payment. Local authorities waste so much funding.
