Kerb and channels form a barrier between the road pavement and the naturestrip which aims to:
-
direct stormwater into stormwater drains and
-
protect the edge of the road from erosion.
We maintain kerbs and regularly use street sweeping machines to prevent the build-up of leaves and debris in the channels.
We construct new kerbs in streets which have never had them under a Special Charge Scheme whereby abutting property owners contribute towards the cost of the work.
