I need a dropped kerb putting in. Can anyone recommend anyone for this? Dunstable/Milton Keynes/Aylesbury/Leighton Buzzard area.

Thanks.

Thanks. But I’m not looking for regs or process. I’m looking for someone to do the work. I’m also in Bucks not Beds.

Have you already spoken to Bedfordshire Borough Council? If not, you'll be needing this link:

https://www.bedford.gov.uk/parking-roads-and-trave...

Bedfordshire Borough Council said:
You are not allowed to drive over a footway or verge unless a vehicle crossing has been constructed by us in accordance with section 184 of the Highways Act 1980.

Only we can build vehicle crossovers. It is an offence for anyone else to make any changes to the public footway.
It's also worth noting:

Bedfordshire Borough Council said:
A crossing which covers the full frontage will not be permitted except in exceptional circumstances.

I read the title... I read post 3 too...

I also see you're avoiding a direct question about your intentions.

...now if I was reading between the lines too, it's coming across that you're looking to commit an offence by employing a contractor, other than the council, to install a dropped kerb outside your property.

This is hilarious. biglaugh at least you are good value.

Uh hu...

How about answering a direct question with a simple "Yes" or "No":

Is the dropped kerb for accessing your property from the road?

M
Are you a local? Don’t recall you posting in this area much? Or are you just stalking me across the forum?

Btw if you’d done as suggested and actually read any of the content. You’d note you have the wrong county and the wrong legislation/guidance. Thus rendering your “interrogation” utterly pointless.

But ho-hum. Do carry on.... biggrin

Yep...
...and missed your reference to Bucks, who of course have a different set of regs to Beds or even Herts!

No worries. It happens smile

As you are a Land Rover person, are you a member of any local clubs/groups? There are quite a few in the area.
