We would like dropped kerbs at the front of our properties to access our homes.

What the petition asks

To put dropped kerbs at the front of our properties for access. We currently park round the back, and sometimes we have friends or relatives of neighbours blocking our gates to access our gardens and its difficult to park in the garden when this happens because gates won't open.
Because we park in the garden or outside of our gates. And sometimes this is obstructed when relatives or friends of neighbours come and park there too. We have difficulty then opening the gates to park our cars. We also have children and when the car is parked in the garden, there is very limited space for them to play.
