My tarmac drive is on a 1 in 10 upslope from my house to the road. The pavement crossover is of a concrete composition and a low spot has developed where the tarmac drive meets the crossover, possibly due to the fact that I now have a 1.5Tonne Jaguar. The low spot means that the bottom of the car scrapes the drive. I need to raise the low spot by only 1 inch or so in an area of approx 24"x24".How can this be best achieved?

if its the public footpath you will need to contact your local council highways department and tell them there is a sunken footpath (trip hazard)if it is your land dig the falgs up and bed them up an inch with a 1:10 cement sharp sand mixture
i think it is illegal to touch a public footpath now so best check mate
