Apply for a vehicle crossing (dropped kerb)

A vehicle crossing is a ramp from a driveway onto a road. Vehicle crossings are also known as dropped kerbs.

We can install vehicle crossings for any resident who meets the eligibility criteria. We can also widen existing crossings or move them.

If we approve your application, our contractor will carry out the work. Our contractors are the only ones approved to do this. It is an offence for anyone else to do this work without our permission.

Vehicle crossings are for domestic vehicle use only (standard cars). You will need to contact us if you need a crossing for heavier vehicles or building works.

Footway Improvement Schemes – Discounted Vehicle Crossings

Each year, the London Borough of Harrow undertakes footway improvement schemes across the borough. Roads are selected based on their condition, following annual footway condition surveys carried out between October and December.  The survey results help determine which roads will be included in the Footway Improvement Programme for the following financial year. The programme is usually confirmed in April each year.
 
If your property is on a road included in the Footway Improvement Programme, you may be eligible for a discounted vehicle crossing or vehicle crossing extension as part of the scheme. Before works start, the Council will deliver information leaflets to all affected residents, including details of how to apply for a vehicle crossing or vehicle crossing extension.
