I agree with Brian in that dropped kerbs are not a good idea for the majority.
I think that the council should levy a yearly charge for each dropped kerb to cover the cost of enforement and those expensive white lines.
The council's policy on non-enforcement is probably because it is too costly so the only solution is lobby the council to introduce charging and enforcment.
I don't want the police enforcing this as I'd hope they would have better things to do but of course they should when people have an essential need such as with children or the less mobile.
