Grant, Under the roads scotland act 1984 sections 95 deposit of mud from vehicles on roads or section 99 prevention of flow of water dirt flith etc on to the road. The farmer has a duty of care to clean up mud he has left on the road. Usually we give them 2 hours to do so. although if he is still working i would give him till the end of the shift. The council can if needs be clear up at the farmers cost but i would persue the farmer in the first instance or at least put the insurance company onto him.

Also i work for a local authority so we are used to dealing with all this just glad the misses is ok cars can be replaced!!
