Getting the kerb dropped

Is it compulsory if you make a driveway then you have to pay and get the kerb properly lowered.. Can you just drive up and down the kerb to access the driveway?

It's illegal to drive across any kerb, "technically", a lowered kerb is somehow allowed.
So what do you want to know?, can you bump up the kerb outside of your house 2 or 3 times a day?
Yes you can, but you will get car damage, you are wide open if you offend anyone and anyone else can park across your "drive".
Apart from that I agree with what I think is your actual sentiment, kerb dropping prices are extortionate, another bash for the homeowner.:mad::mad:I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

Driving on the pavement is an offence. Drop-Kerb access is a driveway across a pavement so using it is not an offence. Council charges are not an offence, but are offensive!0

Where I normally park for work someone has put a little wooden ramp up against the kerb so they can drive into their improvised driveway.
Given that it's not a proper dropped kerb anyone is within their rights to park across it. I would never do such a thing

Derbys have a min charge that amounts to about £1200:eek:, I'd researched alittle and Northumbria where the cheapest, it would have cost either £280 or £380, (can't remember exactly) up there for the same thing:oI like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
