Dropped kerbs in City of Doncaster Council: fee, who builds it and how to apply
Everything you need to apply for a dropped kerb (vehicle crossing) with City of Doncaster Council, from the council's own website. Last checked 4 October 2026.
Who builds dropped kerbs in Doncaster?
Doncaster provides the vehicle crossing itself: customers can't put in dropped kerbs themselves. An inspector measures up and the council sends a quotation; once paid, its contractor builds the crossing.
You don't need to find a contractor for the crossing. Doncaster 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.
