Now this will be a different kind of (cool) experience in Lincoln
Angry Lincoln residents have been left without answers after a broadband company missed a “public meeting” on the installation of telegraph poles.on the pavements outside their homes, instead of putting the cables underground.
Lincolnshire County Council also said there had been “some confusion” about the meeting being public with the council and company not intending that to be the case. There is also anger that highways works such as the installation of poles, do not come under planning regulations. Instead, being allowed by default unless they interfere with highway safety.
Following the meeting Councillor Bean said: “When I agreed to the meeting, I asked Lincolnshire County Council who I could bring with me, and they said, bring anybody that you want. So I’ve invited a lot of residents. Bill Molloy, who has had a pole built in front of his living room window, said: “They’re happy to upset hundreds of people by putting poles up, but when hundreds of people want to complain about it, they feel intimidated.Following the event, a spokesperson for Spring Fibre said: “A member of Spring Fibre was due to attend a meeting with the Highways Agency and Councillor Bean, however the nature and scope of the meeting changed without notification.
