Any Idea on what we should do then? as you said it may be not possible to get the kerb drop? apart from leaving this house and moving on.

Sorry to be blunt but you bought a house with no driveway, no guaranteed parking. You were always going to be at the mercy of other people parking on the street close to your house, forcing you to park further away.

The Highway Code makes me laugh. Round here in the 'burbs, people park right at the corners of road junctions and directly opposite t-junctions, the police and council do absolutely nothing about it.

Thanks for all your replies, we will still try to sort this out. If you get any other ideas, please let me know.

What was your project?

Thanks

same as you are looking to do drop kerbs and a new permeable block paving driveway

the tarmac on the pavement was reinstated on monday so new drive now in use

I guess it's just a waiting game to see what happens and gotta keep annoying the council to get this sorted out.

I'm possibly going to make a dumb suggestion here, but...

If nobody will accept that they own the road, then presumably if the OP just pays a builder to drop the kerb, then nobody will complain about it.

Then when (if) the council ever adopts the road, the dropped kerb will already be there at the time of adoption, so the OP won't have to ask for permission.

That will cause more trouble, we would be damaging private or council's property

this might sound like a silly question but have you downloaded the

Ealing Dropped kerb application

www.ealing.gov.uk/downloads/dropped_kerb_application_form

it has numbers and e mail address of people that deal with this

The one thing that i saw in the pack was that if you do get your drop kerb and register with Ealing parking services they will enforce your drop kerb and ticket people parking across it

good luck with your quest

Thanks.

To be honest, i didn't see the email addresses, but i will message them all to see what can be done.

Thanks again for all the help
