in the first instance , Contact your council highways Dept and request a dropped kerb, they will survey to check it is safe, meets highway planning regs etc to have a dropped kerb at that location. it is then their job to contact Openreach if any alterations to the BT network are required as you do not have any rights regarding moving the pole or stay as it is situated on the public highway not your property. The council will then pass on the costs to you as part of the overall job.
what dept did you speak to at BT openreach. ??
