hi everyone
I am a new wheelchair user following a stroke. Was looking forward to getting out and about only to find my housing estate has no drop kerbs at all so I can only go about a 100 yards? It is a fairly modern estate and all private houses,

Hi @STEVECAVE!Yep, there can be a shortage & of those that are there, quite often, they're not that dropped. I contacted my local town councillor because of a seriously bad section of pathway (no path on opposite side) & lack of dropped kerbs. The pathway was actually patched (lack of funds), still not great, but at least acted on & 1 kerb was dropped a bit.So I would say that would be your first port of call & hopefully, yours will listen & the council have some funds to put a few in.0
