hi

just looking for some advice on what to put in the letter

in the last week BT have stuck up a great big telephone pole outside my house that goes right to the level of the attic! (3 storeys)

they did it during the day when everyone was out so didnt have a chance to ask or say anything..

they have a notice on writing a letter to object to it.

just wondering what would be good objections other than its right up against our hedge and it front of the house and every window you look out of you see the dam ugly brown pole.

any help would be appreciated

cheers

 

commercial interest plus council = you lose !

Sorry !

P.S. How far from your windows is said slender twig ?

 

If you do a search on here you can find a thread where I successfully got a lamp post moved because it was directly in our line if sight. It was really simple, we just calmly explained why we objected and offered a compromise (ie shift it a couple of feet so it's not in our view.)

I reckon that all you can do is to insist on a council tax reduction.

Rubbish.

My neighbours and I have just ( today ) won an appeal against a mobile phone mast 80 yards from our properties, in the middle of an industrial estate.

It cab be done. Good luck to the OP.

 

We will see ?

Recession, redundancies, spending cuts....

LOL

i'll get pics of the pole later, its closer than the light pole in the other thread

 

We have a BT pole in our garden. When we moved there, the pole was in the most stupid place. We contacted BT and they came out and moved it right up against the fence.
That was a few years ago, so not sure how helpful they are now.
Apparently, we can claim wayleaves, but it is only worth about £10 a year
