Rejected petition Give everybody the opportunity to get a drop kerb for their property

With the new law coming in about fining people who park on the kerb I think it's only fair that people are given the opportunity to have a drop kerb put in so a drive way can be made in some cases if cars don't park on kerb emergency services can't get through streets as they are to narrow

More details

Some households can not afford to pay for a drop kerb which means they illegally park as they have no other option and could in future face fines which could cause financial difficulties
