Clear answers, with the official source alongside them

Who runs the service

My Street Status is an independent website operated by Andy Garrick in England. It is a small, early-stage service built to make difficult-to-find council information easier to understand and check against its official source.

What this service does

My Street Status brings fragmented local-authority information into straightforward postcode-based checkers. It currently covers dropped kerbs, advisory disabled parking bays and options for charging an electric vehicle where off-street parking may not be available.

Independent—not a council website

My Street Status is not part of a council, GOV.UK or any highway authority. It cannot grant permission or guarantee that an application will succeed. Results explain published rules and direct visitors to the relevant official authority for the decision.

How information is checked

Rules, fees and application routes are taken from linked council and government sources and reviewed before they are added. The coverage and sources page shows what is automated and where each authority’s official information can be checked. The research methodology explains how source dates, uncertainty and corrections are handled.

If an authority does not publish a dependable answer, the checker says so. It does not turn a missing fee into £0 or guess that permission will be granted.

How the service may be funded

The checkers are free to use. My Street Status may later earn money from clearly labelled advertising or introductions to relevant local contractors. Advertising, sponsorship or a commercial relationship will not alter an eligibility result. Paid placements will be identified as such.

Privacy

The checker does not ask for a name or full postal address and does not currently store postcode checks or answers in its own database. Full details are available in the privacy notice.

Questions, corrections and complaints

Council pages and fees can change. To flag an outdated link, question a result or contact Andy, email hello@mystreetstatus.co.uk. Please include the authority and page concerned, but do not send unnecessary sensitive personal information.
