Report an obstruction of your dropped kerb

White T bar markings in front of a dropped kerb are advisory, but where a vehicle parks across any dropped kerb without the permission of the property owner/occupier, a penalty charge notice can be issued.

We can only enforce this offence after a complaint has been received, because you can give someone permission to park there, so we need to know if someone is parked there without your consent.

Use our form to report a vehicle obstruction.
