Hi


I am looking to have a dropped kerb installed by Southwark at my house. They require a road safety audit. I am struggling to find anyone who knows how or is willing to do this.


Does anyone have any experience of this particular step in the process that could help me?


Thanks


Don

Have you emailed Southwark?


https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking/guide-to-parking/dropped-kerbs-and-driveways?chapter=5


And if so, what was their response - simply "get a road safety audit" without any info as to what it is or where to apply for one or did it lead into a planning permission thing regarding driveways, access etc?


You don't say what road you're on (which is fair enough) but if it's TfL controlled (ie a main road) it'll come under Section 278 for Highway works

https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/urban-planning-and-construction/transport-assessment-guide/highway-work

and you can read TfL's info on what a RSA constitutes here:

If it's a residential street under council control, it's their planning officers. Might vary a bit depending on what it's to be used for. If it's to access a driveway in a car or if it's to allow disabled access (ie for a wheelchair) - turning circles, road markings, existing parking etc get considered as well as things like how busy the pavement is.


Email Southwark - sorry I can't give anything more than that (and apologies if you've already done that - if so some more info on their response would be useful).

Thank you for the detailed reply. I have been in contact with Southwark Highways who have agreed to do the crossover but first I must obtain a road safety audit as defined in "DS.132 Vehicle Crossings and H-bar markings".


I am trying to find an organization who can undertake such an audit without any success so far and am hoping someone who has gone through this recently can provide a recommendation.

Think I'd approach my local councillor and ask them how to arrange it

I don?t have a recommendation but here are a couple of firms that seem to have the right capability and should cover London:

There is also a register of a particular type of certified provider here:

    • Let me rephrase this He does not seem to be personally bothered by the impact he has.  Rather than immune from somebody taking action against him.  Although the bar had to be raised and raised before anyone did anything, and there are still those in his party who think it was wrong to get rid of him. He delivered a poor Brexit so didn't get that right.  He didn't believe in it, in the first place, he was just getting one up on his chum Dave.
    • 1. No he's not, he made a pigs ear of things, his leadership was poor and his behaviour was unbecoming of the highest office in the land.  2. No they don't,  he was a prime buffoon 3. Not a messiah, in no way. He caused great damage to both the Party and Country after three years of differing by May. The only thing he completed was B  r  e  x  i  t.  Are we paying the price. Don't ask me, I was in an induced coma at the time, fighting for my own life.    
    • My comment is trying to not take any political side but rather be objective on what I see, hear and read. If the Government made a positive difference to people's lives, people would be pro this Govt, but sadly the majority don't see an improvement since they have been in Office, but rather the opposite so people's opinions of the Government are poor.  I think if you did a straw poll of users on here, the result for those in favour of the Government is likely to be unfavourable, but I may be totally wrong, quite possible. No one I speak or am in contact with has a single good word to say about the current Administration. In fact the calls for a General Election just become stronger and stronger.
