Your local council is the best starting point as they can point you in the right direction regarding driveways and whether they can help with a grant towards the cost. Failing that, maybe have a chat with your local citizens advice office as they also might be able to help you with names/numbers of people who help with your issues. Good luck

Hello @Sue49

Just checking in to see if there was an update on your situation. Mrsj42 commented above about contacted your local council and citizens advice. I also wanted to comment that maybe your MP could help guide you in the right direction? 

Find your MP - MPs and Lords - UK Parliament

I've attached the link to find your MP in case you are unsure whose representing your area.

Hi mrsj42

i am so sorry for just coming back to here to see if any comments, or suggestions had been made , 
I have been on a wasted journey with trafford housing , since I posted on here , to be finaly after apparently they had sent an inspector out 3 times to look at it and take photos , then discuss it with who ever they didn’t specify who and would get back to me , all i was told was no and no explanation, so asked could someone contact me as to why I was refused , and was told they would send inspectors out again , to be told the same as in answer is no , on supposedly the 3rd time i actually got to speak to one of inspectors only to be finally told they only do repairs , that they wouldn’t do a driveway , !! But told me to take photos send them in to his email as was just leaving but on annual leave and he would look again in return , to which I didn’t bother as was just wasting more time to just get nowhere again , also I have been very poorly to another reason only just coming back in here , Thank you so much ch for taking the time to read and also reply to my question 🙏🙏, i will contact council and Mp tomorrow and let you no how i get on , hope your well and thank you again 

Regards Sue

Hey @Sue49. You have done so well to reach back out to us and share your update with us.

Have you been able to contact the council and your MP yet and, if so, how did this go for you? We are here for you and listening to you if you would like to share more with us.

Also, I notice you have been very poorly due to another reason which is why you are only just coming back on here. I hope you are feeling better now.

Please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything else we can do to support you
