No, Janet, you are wrong. You are focusing on one small part of my post
and
pretending it is the reason for my post.

My problem, as Alan and others have already pointed out to you and Kay, is
one of gardening etiquette and neighbor relations. I've already said that
the laws in the U.K. do not apply in the USA. I'm looking for opinions,
not
legal advice.

Thanks anyway, and have a great day
My own opinion is that if the vine is vigourous and indeed strangling your
neighbours plants, then yes you should either trim the thing or get rid of
it. The choice of plant was yours, and should not be inflicted on your
neighbours nor allowed to damage anything that they plant. Just because you
think it is beautiful doesn't mean that your neighbours have the same
opinion.
