My council no longer paints white 'Access' lines along driveway dropped kerbs, what can I do?

[BarbaraPickle]

I have a constant and on-going problem with cars parking across my driveway, despite having a 'do not obstuct this drive' sign up. A decade ago I went through planning to get a white line painted along the dropped kerb as a visual reminder to not park over the drive. It's now worn off quite a bit but is still just visible. Would I be unreasonable to get some road paint and carefully go over it again? Due to funding issues, the council no longer paint these lines. Very soon I'll be back to square one & blocked-in at all random times, which is infuriating. What d'you think?

I don’t think that would be unreasonable at all.
i’d ask them council though and also ask if they could still enforce if there was a problem. As the legality of it is separate to who actually paints it surely.

Nowhere near where I live has these. And people don’t park across the drive. People know not to park there. Will a white line really stop it? If people are being dicks anyway?

We have the white lines everywhere for dropped kerbs. Without them, people park anywhere. Yes I’d paint it myself. We actually have it in writing from when we bought the property that it’s a dropped kerb for access

Those markings aren’t legally enforceable. If there was already one there, I think you’d be fine to just paint over it - I seriously doubt anyone in the council will care.

Well ignore me then. No one has them here. Get some paint and go over it.

We had a T bar painted over our driveway which was opposite a coop. People ignored it. We lived on a main road and people just threw their cars into the kerb and walked to the shop. We paid the council £20 for ours.

Probably not worth perusing.

£20!!! Ours cost £200

Mine cost £50 for the council to paint the line but only after I’d paid £2k for one of their approved contractors to officially lower my kerb. That included a £300 council fee permit charge
