Re: Stuck right in front of the church
[QUOTE=Atarah]Look what they went and did yesterday! Stuck a huge telegraph pole right by the entrance to the church, and its in a conservation area too! Why did they stick it there I wonder?
Hi Atarah
Because there is a Health & Safety directive that states the height & span of telephone wires above the road way. A telephone engineer was killed whilst working on a pole & a wagon caught the wire, dragged the engineer of the pole & killed him.
If you remember the wire used to come from the end of Timber St back, across the square to Jerry's house.
They stuck one of there poles against our back wall, right on top of an old drain, their
inspector examined it, said it would have to be removed. ITS still there excuse they might cause more damage by trying to move it than leaving it where it is.
B.T. are answerable to no one.
Walter.
