Dropped kerbs prove a big hit

The Council’s dropped kerb service is proving popular with local residents

After featuring the service in a recent Borough News we were inundated with enquiries. One such enquiry was made by a couple from Hedge End, who after receiving a favourable quote, went ahead and had a dropped kerb put in.

Debbie from Hedge End said, “We were delighted with the service we received from the Council and the dropped kerb they installed for us. The Council staff did a great job, were polite and courteous and a credit to the Council.

A dropped kerb is a great way of ensuring 24-hour access to your property for vehicles, as it prevents other road users from blocking the entrance and it can also help ease congestion on local roads. Keeping a car off-road can also reduce insurance premiums. We can install dropped kerbs for both residents and businesses in the Borough.

Hampshire County Council is the highways authority and you will need to make an application to them for a dropped kerb and we will then obtain the required licence to excavate the highway, as well as carry out the work at very competitive rates. Our team has experience of installing dropped kerbs across the Borough and we provide a fast, high quality service with no hidden extra costs.
