Make Dropped Kerbs a Priority

We the undersigned, propose that dropped kerbs are considered when implementing new infrastructure. We propose that conversion of existing kerbs to dropped kerbs, when requested, should be considered as a priority. 

Dropped kerbs may impact many residents, especially those with disabilities, and can affect accessibility, leading to isolation and loneliness.

Dear Sharon

 

Your petition has now closed and received 1 signature. To trigger any action under our policy a petition must have a minimum of 10 signatures, therefore we are unable to process it in accordance with our Policy. If you would like, we can pass your concerns on to the Cabinet Member for them to respond directly (without progressing the petition) via our Member Enquiries Team.

 

Please let me know if you would like us to do that for you.

 

Kind regards

Title updated from
"Dropped kerbs map"
to
"Make Dropped Kerbs a Priority"
Summary updated from
"The provisIon of dropped kerbs should be the norm and where there is a failure of such It should be treated as priorty to have the facility put in place. Failure to do so amounts to disability discriminatIon and leads to isolation. Google maps should also show accessibility routes as they do for cycling routes."
