Who builds dropped kerbs in Wokingham?
Wokingham no longer authorises third-party contractors to install dropped kerbs; only its own contractors can. If your site is approved, its traffic management team quotes for the council to do the work.
You don't need to find a contractor for the crossing. Wokingham 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.
