If you drive over the footway but do not have dropped kerb, you are breaking the law and enforcement action could be taken against you.
If you live in a controlled parking zone (CPZ) and hold a valid permit you are allowed to park over a dropped kerb outside your house as long as you're not blocking anyone else, such as wheelchair, pram users or motorist. You will not be permitted to park across any other dropped kerb.
If a vehicle parks illegally over your dropped kerb (outside your house), please call the Parking Team on 0208 215 3000 and listen out for the 'report illegal parking’ option. Alternatively, you can email parking.enforcement@lbbd.gov.uk and give the full location details.
Please note that if your query is regarding a dropped kerb application of refusal, your query needs to be directed to the Highways Dropped Kerb team.
