Policy on Winter Maintenance, Mailboxes and Other Structures
Policy on Winter Maintenance, Mailboxes and Other Structures Within the Highway Right-Of-Way
Occasionally mailboxes or other devices are damaged by snow plowing operations due to
poor visibility, the mailbox being buried in a snow bank or the weight/volume of the snow being
plowed. This damage is not deliberate and in most cases is unavoidable. The Town of
Nottingham is not responsible for damage and does not repair, replace or re-erect boxes that are
located within the highway right-of-way. These devices are located within the highway limits and are the responsibility of the property owner. The Town of Nottingham, will work with the box owners to locate the box in the safest possible location and offer advice on its design to minimize potential damage.
In addition, both during and after storms, there is no way to prevent depositing snow in previously cleaned driveways or walkways. This can not be a concern for plow operators while performing the assigned task of snow removal from the roads.
Approved by the Board of Selectmen on December 13, 2004 by unanimous vote.
