Driveway Ramps

[mcgee9t2]

get a few peices of wood and stick them there to make a ramp then get onto the council.

any expensive metal ramps will just be niked.

You cannot leave anything by the roadside, be it ramps or pieces of wood. We had our kerb dropped by the council, due to the width of our drive it came to just shy of £800.  Next door has paved some of their front garden to park cars, they did not drop their curb and just left wood to step up to the pavement which never stayed flush against the curb once driven over.  They have since been slapped by the council for intentionally leaving an obstruction on the road or something like that.  be warned.

Thanks for the replies.

Yeah I own my property - think I might try and get some metal ramps built and bolt them into the road. I mean, I travel through Edinburgh alot and you see these everywhere - not too sure about legislation in England - but in Scotland - I dont think having ramps is a problem.

I have got about an acre of land/garden which is in need of some serious maintance which is going to cost me, plus some gutter/roofing work is need so I really dont have the expense to go down a LA process and pay to get the driveway lowered by the book.

Thanks for the advice anyway. I have been told that it better to reverse a car up a kerb rather than drive forward up it - dont know how true that is.

Carry two to four small planks of wood in the boot. Hop out, make a little stairs up the kerb, drive up, put the planks back in the boot. Works for my Vento
