Do we need to advise Linky re this worK?
You can advise Linky as much as you like but it wont listen.
What you need to ask is if you need to advise Enedis if you want to relocate the meter. Which is a yes, and they will have to do it ( and charge you)
BTW, welcome to SF

Welcome, @Christine100 .
I would speak to my electricity supplier.
Hiya Christine and welcome etc
Linkys are not known to be very friendly. Enerdis even less so but this might help you:.
(You cannot mess with it..you might die and there is a process to go through as per the form and some peeps will come over and do the relocation for you)
I have to rebuild my front wall, possibly this summer but have no intentions of telling anyone (except SF).
I will just be careful around the meter box.
..I’ll rebuild it for you, but in wattle and daub if interested?
Many thanks Mark.
We are not planning to move it, just build new wall around it as it is now - does this mean they need to be contacted?

This is a really helpful link, Mickey - thank you.
We are not planning to move but instead, build around it. So in that case no notification required?

As you said, you are not relocating it, just taking down the crumbling stone and rebuilding the wall strong again yes? That’s what I have to do and the cabinet is closed and won’t be opened none of the internal parts will be anywhere near me as I rebuild the wall. Not telling anyone, it took over a year to get Enedis to come and correct the phase and neutral reversal. 
thank you, Porridge

Welcome, @Christine100 .

That’s what most folks do, no need to inform anyone unless you are changing the height and length of the wall. Building a new wall from scratch is another matter and you must have proper foundations and metal bars to strengthen it, too many people have just been building walls like Lego which then have collapsed and hurt people and damaged property so the law is clear on that now. We are not allowed block or any solid walls on this lotissement apart from low two block high on the pavement take grillage panels.

Even an existing wall can cause problems if work needs doing on it.
These days, a boundary wall must not even have its foundations encroaching on public land. I know this as I was asked to translate during a heated exchange between the Maire and the Homeowner.
The Homeowner was in throes of redoing an ancient, crumbling boundary wall. He wanted to dig foundations to reinforce it.
The Maire explained the rules and the Owner had to dig and rebuild further back, so that nothing (not even foundations) encroached on the public verge.
I would suggest that someone doing a wall (boundary or building) which touches public land… go and discuss with the Maire beforehand, unless you are simply replacing existing stones.
Enter @JaneJones with her foundation building on the edge of the foundation and potential tilt of the wall.
What happened to the person whose possibly illegal wall was bashed by a lorry?
It’s still damage to property so vehicle insurance should sort it.
That takes me back!

As an aside… through the Commune Bulletin our Mairie has asked folk to contact 'em before putting up a boundary fence of any sort (let alone a wall) and/or planting hedge/tree(s).
this is to ensure that everything conforms and is safe… and will not become a headache in the future.
