Planning permission to dig up pavement?

Could that be because they were put in for vehicles and not as an aid to disabled/wheelchair users?
It may even be because a road has been resurfaced and more was skimmed off than put back on.
No it is just a normal pavement with a road on one side and a garden wall on the other side so there will only be pedestrian use.
You may well be right though, it could be that the problem has arisen as a result of road resurfacing. Still the first time I went down this particular dropped kerb I didn't realise how high it was and it gave me quite a fright. I am lucky to have a powered wheelchair, and it is more stable than a manual wheelchair due to the low centre of gravity from the heavy batteries.It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.

Just keep an eye out for some roadworkers in the area undertaking work for the council and see if you can give them a bung.Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0

To the OP - why do you have such a problem with this - surely creating an off road parking space will improve the parking situation and throughflow of traffic in your street?

Probably because the guy's dodgy builder will mess up the job, which then leaves the council to come and sort it out costing more money from our taxes?0 -
