You really are the neighbour from hell !!.. The local authority OWN
the roads and pavements and any grass verge between road and pavement,
(unless your deeds state otherwise or it is an UN-ADOPTED road).

Mine state otherwise and I've been told in the legal group that's the norm. Apparently it's easier when building houses to divide up the land to each house, rather than also have strips owned by the council.

If the council want dropped kerbs for driveways, they must pay for it
themselves.

Nope. YOU have to pay the county council (or what ever authority owns
the roads and pavements) a FEE to approve a dropped kerb. Then YOU
have to PAY an authorised contractor to do the work to the councils
specification, which may required altering highways drainage.

IF you want the convenience of not bumping your tyre over the kerb.

Until you do this anyone can park on that section of road and they
are not causing any obstruction (red/yellow lines apart).

They are obstructing you from driving out of your driveway. Refusing to accept it's a driveway because of the height of the kerb is downright childish. Are you one of those clowns that stands on the bridge near me and counts trains?
