Hi All,
Thanks for all the suggestions, got the tyres replaced today, kept the
damaged ones and got the tyre place to put on the receipt that they were
replacing the tyres because of impact damage.
I think i'll ring the council first and see who they say is responsible.
Didn't take any pictures today as it was covered with snow but will
tomorrow.
Coincidently there was a recovery truck picking up a car from the
roadside just past the drive tonight, i thought afterwards i should have
stopped to see if they has hit the curb as well.

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
