Loose chippings are the cheap option to prolong the serviceable life of a road surface. After applying the chippings the correct signage should be displayed and the surface should be swept by the contractor. However the frequency for sweeping the road is one based on as to whether it is deemed "reasonable". That said, if you believe it is a danger to two wheeled traffic, inform the Highway Authority, start with Wiltshire CC on their Clarence free 'phone number. Make a note of the name of the person dealing with the call and/or reference number If out of office hours, inform the Wiltshire Constabulary. If damage to the bodywork is caused by chippings you will be palmed off with either you should pursue a claim against the other road user speeding over the surface, or you were riding too close to the traffic in front. Which brings you back to the frequency of the road surface being swept, if you can show it was inadequate, you are more likely to be successful in any claim made. The contractor should have records of this which will be made available to the Highway Authority. A long convoluted process.
