Though ISTR the figure round here (Cambs) is closer to £1000.

I am pretty sure that near me, on Lavender Avenue, Mitcham, the
council altered the pavement of every house to a slipway, so that cars
could be parked in peoples' front gardens rather than on the pavement.
I'm a pedestrian and I thought that was a good idea - and the pavement
does seem a lot clearer now than a year ago, although I suppose some
people have simply taken the opportunity to buy a second car.

One thing that really bugs me, especially if I'm pushing a pushchair,
is when I have to use the road because cars are using the pavements.
Where can I get those "Pavements are for people" stickers?

Does all this mean that all people have to do is ask (and pay) and
they can potentially get an entire kerb dropped so that the whole
length of the pavement can be driven over? I would have thought that
there would be a limit.

I dunno what happened, except that EVERY house on Lavender Ave in
Mitcham, in a few months, all got dropped kerbs. I assumed that the
council did it to rid the streets of parked cars (which has happened).
