'ACCESS WHERE YOU NEED IT'

A crossing across a public footpath or verge for your vehicle to gain access to your property from the highway is known as a 'dropped kerb', crossover or vehicle crossing.

It must be built to specific standards and approved by your council and in some cases planning permission is also required.

Your local council, acting as the Highway Authority, is responsible for maintaining footpaths. It is illegal to build a crossing over a public footpath without a certified crossing or dropped kerb. This is to ensure that the crossing is strong enough to take the weight of the vehicle and does not create a hazard for pedestrians and other footpath and road users. Your council has the power to close or remove a vehicle crossing or dropped kerb if it has been constructed without permission. For more details click here.
