Poetic justice and trying to get away with not having your kerb lowered

The OP is a really sad story (around the corner from me an OAP was ripped off for 10k for a home alarm installation). I got one installed for £300 in a small office. I bet councils daily have to deal with people who go ahead and hope for the best. On that pic I posted ALOT of the houses down that road dont have drop kerbs but they’ve converted their drives.

To me i looks like she’s trying to force their hand

To me it looks like an old dear get ripped off of a few grand, but gloat all you want.

And either way, I don’t see the poetic justice.

Exactly how I read it.

If you don’t have the kerb lowered are you still allowed to drive across the pavement to access your driveway ?

I believe it’s not allowed, but I don’t know about legality. The front of my house has been gravelled over, and the fence removed, (which was falling apart anyway), but I haven’t had the kerb dropped. Next door has, but the actual road surface is about 3/4″ below the top of the kerb, so not really worth bothering.
