Council want to charge me for making home accessible

ljk

Hello
I am hoping you may be able to help me please?  I have been offered a council bungalow as I am disabled.  The bungalow is great but the parking isn’t directly outside the property.  I made an enquiry to the local council about dropping the kerb so I can drive onto the front of the bungalow but they wanted £60 before they would come out and look.  I haven’t yet accepted the bungalow as I need to know I will be able to get in and out of it.  Do I have any rights with being disabled to ask them to do it please?  I don't have enough money to pay for it myself..
Thank you

Hello @ljk Pleased to meet you welcome.

Thank you for joining and sharing.

I am one of the team of community champions who guide, help and advise new members.

I am unsure of an answer to your question.  I know there will be members of our community may know.

One suggestion is to speak to CAB about this. I am sure they may help.

Please take care.

Hi @ljk

Please do keep us updated.

I think w3 are going to have to refuse it.  W3 had a drive round to it again today and the parking situation is terrible.  There are camper vans, transits and care all over the place.  So staying put is the lesser on 2 evils.
