Can I drop my kerb?
7 Answers
We live on a street where there are terraced houses all with very small frontage. Parking is mostly on street.
I have worked out that if I removed the front "garden" we would just about be able to get our car on. i.e. create off street parking.
Question is, am I entitled to have the kerb dropped or is it decided by the council?

you should contact the council about this. as they have the responsibilty for your street. You may even have to seek planning permission to remove ( pave over ? ) your front garden. This is because of recent concerns with flooding and lack of drainage as gardens soak up excess water and paved areas don't.

I can only second what kwicky has said, as our council told me we would need indemnity of several thousands of pounds in case any one injured thereselves on it and made a claim, needless to say, we let the council do it, but i guess i was fortunate because it didn't cost anything like the prices being quoted here, but then that was twenty five years ago, and the sue everybody fever hadn't started at that time
