dropped kerb access

[krichards]

Just had an official dropped kerb to my property as there is only limited 3 hour parking outside my house. The council who gave me permission to get the kerb done now say they do not draw the white access markings fo you and I will have to get permission from my local counciller who will consider whether it is necessary, which means anyone can still park accross my vehicle access. Does anyone know the law on this?

[Who me ?]

Think others will give same story -

It's obstruction to block you in , but no offence to park accross it with no car on drive .

A single white line is an advisory 'no parking', nothing more. You may find that having a dropped kerb access is sufficient to prevent obstruction. If not, have a word with your local police.

The white line adds nothing to the offence or enforcement powers, all it does is make it very visual.
It's an offence of obstruction to block you getting onto the road, but not onto your property (that would be a civil matter).
For some councils parking across a drop kerb is a defined PCN matter & they can issue a ticket.
