While HMRC occupy the property under the STEPS contract and will consider any reasonable proposals, resolution of commercial considerations are for Network Rail and Mapeley.

    HM Revenue & Customs does not own the freehold interest in the Custom House site (also known as Priory Court) adjacent to Dover Priory railway station. HMRC occupies the site with the STEPS PFI agreement. While HMRC has been aware of approaches to the freeholder Mapeley for some time, formal discussions have commenced only recently in February 2014.

    Charlie Elphicke – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Charlie Elphicke on 2014-04-10.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to require landowners and service suppliers to install manhole covers that have resistance abrasion values to prevent slipping and injury.

    Mr Robert Goodwill

    The majority of manhole covers on the highway network fall under the responsibility of utility companies, with a small percentage in the ownership of local highway authorities.

    The Department for Transport currently has no plans to bring forward legislative proposals for landowners and service suppliers to install high-friction manhole covers to prevent slipping and injury. That said, we are aware of a number of authorities who are taking steps to replace manhole covers with ones having enhanced anti-skid properties.
