I suppose I'd rather do it my self as they're are only 6' high at the moment and the rest which the council have done are 8'.
Where I grew up the back garden fences were about 3' and you could look down the row of gardens, much nicer and communal.

It should say on your deeds which fence is your responsibility. Our deeds are vague but it suggested that the fence we replaced was actually next doors. Fortunately, the neighbour thought otherwise so we kept quiet.

It's really interesting that when many terraces were first built, there weren't any fences at all, and very often a path between the gardens that ran the length of the terrace.

I was having this conversation with a neighbour a few doors down, we have 6ft on one side and 4ft on the other, we get on really well with both and especially with the 4ft side. As you say it's nice and makes the garden feel open but our neighbours a few doors further down have had problems with their next door neighbours and are really happy to have 8ft fences!

Yeah, you're always only responsible for one side, I don't know if there's a rule, I only found out which fence was mine by asking my neighbours.
