Dropped Kerb Application Costs in Elton
If your driveway project requires a new or widened dropped kerb, this involves a separate application to the local highways authority and works by an approved contractor to modify the public footway and kerb. The application fee and construction cost for a dropped kerb varies by local authority. In Elton, the local council sets the fee and may carry out the kerb work itself using its own contractors, or may allow approved private contractors to undertake the works under a licence.
It is important to budget for the dropped kerb costs separately and to allow adequate lead time for the application to be processed, some local authorities in West Midlands have processing times of several weeks or more. Your Driveway Specialists will be familiar with the local process and timescales.
