But its got to be lowered , may involve dropping the level of the ducting into the box as well .The BT box cannot remain at the height it is if the kerb level around it is dropped

Indeed, seems the problem here is that the OP apparently has no concept of the work involved - you don't just dig up two kerbstones and drop some lower ones in.....

I've seen a fire engine drive over a BT footway box (quite a new one, too). The lid went 'crunch' and folded in half.

and that is exactly what would happen in the case above if no action was taken to strengthen the box the first thing bigger than a standard car to drive over the lid and it would break and fall into the box

the clue is in the name Footway box
