Cabinet adopted the Dropped Kerb Policy.

Cabinet was presented with the DOMESTIC VEHICLE DROPPED KERB POLICY.

Report was introduced by Councillor Barry Mugglestone, Cabinet Member for Environment.

A report before Cabinet to approve the Domestic Vehicle Dropped Kerb Policy. The current dropped kerb policy has been in place since 2008 and there is a need to update the policy to align current guidelines, good practice, and legislation with respect to applications for and the provision of vehicle crossings. As part of the policy the Council seeks to address any adverse effect of crossings on the street-scene and ensure that applications are considered in a consistent and fair manner.

A member asked about the enforcement of the policy in regard to how approving dropped kerb for a resident may limit the amount of packing space available to other residents in the street. Officers confirmed that the report details how the Council will address controlled parking and other recommendations are detailed in the report.

It was AGREED:

That Cabinet adopted the Domestic Vehicle Dropped Kerb Policy.
