Last year a house on a narrow country road (2 lanes just) on the way
to/from work decided to redo the end of there drive, removed the
original dropped curbstones and replaced them with 3 rows of cobble type
stones.
But they put them out into the road by 6 to 8 inchs and left them
sticking up from the tarmarc by about 2 to 3 inchs with no slope on the
end of them.
Today in the dark a car came the other way a bit far across the road at
just at that point and i hit the end of the cobbles, punctured the front
tyre instantly and the rear has a big egg on the sidewall.
Apart from contacting the council about the fact they have modified the
curb and moved it into the road who do i send the bill to for the
damage, the council or the householder ?
Looking on the net there was no planning request for the change but i'm
not sure they needed one .
The woman at the house initially said the drive didn't stick out into
the road (which it clearly does) and then when i said it should at least
have had a slopped end she said it was done that high to stop water
running off of the road onto there drive.
Thanks,
Jim
