Camden: Dropped kerbs

Who builds dropped kerbs in Camden?

If your proposal is accepted, Camden issues a cost estimate (valid for 60 days) and its contractors carry out the works once you've paid.

You don't need to find a contractor for the crossing. Camden builds dropped kerbs itself, so apply to the council and pay its quote. Use our printable checklist and timeline to get your application right first time. You can still choose your own builder for the driveway.
