dishing and council costs

rorymac74

Hi all, I have recieved planning for driveway in front of house and have completed works on it. The council were out today to price their work of concreting the grass margin out front (dishing). Outside our front wall is a footpath, a grass margin and then the road. The council have given a price of 1200 euro for a 20 square metre, which is correct price for this size, but this takes into account the footpath replacement too. I want the area between the footpath and the road done only (approx 10sqm) as the footpath already is angled toward the road. The footpath is badly patched up by the council alright over the years but should I pay to fix there mess or is it the norm to pay for this too? thanks in advance

The footpath is the councils responsibilty. I would call the planning department and speak with the planner for your area. Contacting the roads maintenance department can be slow and messy. Explain your case to the planner.

60-80 euro per metre square is a standard price for footpath dishing.
