Dropped kerbs as part of the highways planned maintenance programme
If you do not currently have an adequately constructed dropped kerb in front of your property, we can provide one as part of a footway reconstruction scheme.
Cost of a dropped kerb
For a new dropped kerb:
- £450 for a standard 5-kerb crossing
For an extension of an existing dropped kerb:
- £90 for each extended lowered kerb
You can pay for your dropped kerb in instalments, over a 3 or 6 month period.
To be considered, your property must have unobstructed access onto a private frontage with a permeable hard standing area. This area must be of adequate size for a parked vehicle. The cost of the work includes the provision and laying of 5 new kerbs and the strengthening and resurfacing of the footway between the kerb line and your property boundary.
This vehicle dropped crossing offer is only available during footway reconstruction works. Following this, the cost of the work will be significantly more.
You can apply for a standard dropped kerb on our dropped kerbs page. All applications will be individually assessed in accordance with the council's dropped crossing guidance.
