Railings installed to stop drivers hitting 'killer kerbs' are already 'mangled'

Railings to stop drivers hitting a notorious foot-high 'killer kerb' that has caused damage to cars have been left 'mangled' just weeks after being installed.Drivers in Salisbury, Wiltshire, have waged war with their council over the 13-inch high kerb which has resulted in thousands of pounds worth of damage to their vehicles.The raised 'trief' was intended to prevent cars from mounting the pavement and making a 'more welcoming environment for pedestrians'.But thousands of drivers have ended up with scrapes and bangs after hitting the kerb.Following a bitter row, the council reduced the gradient of a footpath, replaced a section of the damaged kerb and installed pedestrian railings on the other side of the road.
