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:

https://content.tfl.gov.uk/tfl-road-safety-audit-procedure-may-2014-sqa-0170.pdf


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:

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
