Dropped kerb query
By: Severndroog Date: August 5, 2025, 2:58 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
As a matter of interest …
There is a dropped kerb nearby that once served the drive of a
large house. Said house has now been demolished and
redeveloped, access is now in a different place. The old
dropped kerb still exists but leads nowhere (well, to a brick
wall). Is it still illegal to park across it?

A dropped footway is only enforceable for vehicular access,
pedestrian crossing or cycle track.
If none of these apply then a historic lowered footway cannot be
enforced but we do see CEOs still ticketing them and it's
tiresome to challenge.

Ta muchly. Friend has got antsy about parking there, even
though enforcing would be ridiculous. It will be good to
reassure him.

just make sure there isn't one on the opposite side of road so
council can't argue it's a pedestrian one.
