Limited Dropped Kerbs in the area which restricts access for mobility scooters

Reported via desktop in the Damaged/Loose category anonymously at 16:48, Tuesday 17 February 2026

Sent to North Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8941259.

Report from resident who requires regular use of a mobility scooter to travel. The area is limited to a couple of dropped kerbs which makes the area difficult to access safely when on a mobility scooter. Please can the area be reviewed to ensure the footpaths are accessible to wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

  • Investigation: Completed (No Action Necessary) - There are currently no continuous pedestrian routes throughout the area. The only existing pathways run directly from the road to individual housing blocks, rather than providing connections between the blocks themselves. Where a path does link the road to a block, an appropriate dropped kerb is already in place.

    In addition, the existing paths are extremely narrow and cannot accommodate mobility scooters. As a result, installing additional dropped kerbs would not offer meaningful improvement, as the pathways themselves are not suitable for use by individuals with mobility equipment.

    It is also important to note that older properties were constructed in accordance with the standards in place at the time. We do not retrospectively upgrade historic infrastructure to meet current highway standards.
