Should this fence butt right up to the pavement?

I followed the old fence to an extent I think and so it's a bit set back from the pavement. Ahoumd I have gone right up so there's no scruffy grass to deal with?

The council eventually will renew the pavement and you will lose that space.
Move the fence or put some sort of edging there, paving blocks, concrete edging, etc.
 
Is that a Laurel hedge?, still have nightmares of digging mine out..
 
I expect the owner is complaining that they have lost 3 to 6 inches of garden !
They mentioned it but I think the previous one was roughly in the same position. I dont think it butted up to pavement.

So the council will just nick part of their garden is what you're saying?

She asked me about what to do with grass etc in front e.g. wall, slabs etc and I said put down grass seed and strim it
 
Is it my eyes or is it as straight as a donkeys hind leg?

I know. I should have put the first and last post in the beginning then string lined it. The middle posts would have then been inline. I didn't,I just measured 20 or 25cm from edge out and put the post.

18 metres long and theres one post in particular which kind of juts in.
 
Yes.
And depending on where this is it might mean thousands.
Expensive. Its a block of flats.

Arent there edging stones already in these photos? Surely that's enough to keep the boundary. I might pop back to check it's not the old gravel boards
