How to stop people parking outside a dropped kerb
Parking across a dropped kerb is classed as obstruction and action can only be taken by the police.
The police can take action by either finding the vehicle owner and getting the vehicle moved or alternatively move it themselves.
If the problem occurs on a regular basis we can provide a white bar marking - a solid white line painted on the road by your dropped kerb.
These markings are only advisory and are not enforceable by the police or ourselves.
If you are interested in applying for a white bar marking please read the frequently asked questions and complete an online application form, available on the right.
