Oh Yes !!
I am going to pay for a public pavement - some 1/4 mile away from my home
Be Serious ...
It's a valid solution if the problem really bothers you. Maybe you can get a group together that face the same problem and all chip in?
Much the same as residents of a close/street/avenue maintaining the public areas even though the council are responsible for keeping it tidy but don't.0 -
Can't the council get European funding for equal opps things ?
The EU have invested millions in our infrastructure, but they won't offer funding for a dropped kerb, no.
I'm with Labman, if you want it that much, offer to pay for it yourself. Or does the cost outweigh the benefit?0 -
What ?
Pay probably £2000+ for something that should be provided for me and others ?
You must be joking...0 -

Have they? I am surprised. Mind you Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland & Eire have had £millions thrown at them - hence why so many voted to stay in Europe. Shame that some of that funding didn't get into England - we might well have had a different result in the Referendum.
The sooner we are out the better at least that way it will make the UK equal.0 -

What should be provided does not mean that it will.
If there was a massive pothole outside your home and that your car would be damaged if it went into it what would you do? Fill it yourself with a bag of DIY tarmac? get the local tarmac boys to do you a favour? or simply just sit there saying that it isn't your problem?
In todays world we have to help ourselves more than we ever have done. Me I would pop down to B&Q, get a bag or two of tarmac and fill it in one Sunday morning.0 -

There is huge difference between a pothole and a major road reconstruction job !!rockingbilly wrote: »What should be provided does not mean that it will.
