    I don't think there is a solution that doesn't involve moving or lots of money

    Give up your car and use taxis?
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    If the slope is so steep then there's a good chance a dropped kerb would be refused because you would be trying to pull out onto a road totally blind, even without cars parked on the road either side of it

    I think that could be the case.

    I cannot get into a standard car they are too low plus taxis are far too expensive.I drive an adapted SUV because it is taller.

    You could ask the council to mark a 'disabled' space outside your house

    Have you tried posting on the Disability Matters(?) board?


    I would have thought this was quite a common problem and perhaps the regular posters on there may have some advice?

    The most cost-effective option I can see is to bend the ear of one of your local councillors, to see if they can get the council to reconsider putting in a disabled bay.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
