New Slough dropped curb guidance
Slough Borough Council would like to make residents aware of the new rules for applying for a vehicular crossing at their homes, otherwise known as a dropped curb.
Anyone wishing to apply for a dropped curb will be issued with the new vehicular crossing application form and accompanying guidance. The procedure will take effect from May 27 2008.
This will help Slough residents identify whether they should apply for a vehicular crossing and the new procedure will make the process more efficient and help with record keeping.
To apply for a crossing, residents will need to fill in a form and submit it to the highways department at the council, along with a non-refundable administration fee of £65.
This covers officer time spent processing the application and any site visits that may need to be done.
If approved, a quote will be sent back to the resident for the work by post and if all is agreed, work will commence from four to six weeks after receipt of payment.
Slough Borough Council said: “The new application form and guidance notes will assist residents when applying for vehicular crossings and help them to decide if their request is in compliance with the council’s criteria.”
You can either apply online for a drop down curb or call the highways team on 01753 477335.
