We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.
This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are – or become – political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.
PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

If you don't remove them, then Highways can get a Court Order to force you to remove them - although they don't really want to go to the expense of that, so they'll keep nagging .... or cart them away one day.
Assuming that the road is adopted, the highway, pavement, verges and edges are all owned by the local Highways (usually County Council). If not adopted, it's private land and a matter for the landowner.
I think it depends on the local council as in some conservation areas they are actively encouraged. OP could investigate her local councils view. As she has said they are not pleased about the verge erosion they might agree.0
