Speak to your local council and ask them about them painting a disabled bay for you,it will cost about £80.00 or there abouts.

I hope this helps

thanks for getting back to me philip, i spoke to my local council all they did was pass me from pillow to post cause no one new anything bout it was on the phone for over a hour and gave up hope.

If you find your local council online there should be a section on there to apply for things like this And dropped kerbs. I know for mine I just filled in an online application, waited a few weeks then someone contacted me.

Hope you get sorted soon.

Hi, you can apply through your local social services department who will make a referral to the relevant department or you can apply direct to your local highways department.

Check your councils website for the highways departments contact details. Or let me know who your local authority is and I'll find the details for you if you can't manage.

Good luck
