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.

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.
