Telegraph pole - overgrown shrub

Kaboom — Fri, 22 Mar 2024 15:35:46 GMT

The telegraph pole diagonally opposite my house that the phone/internet line feeds from has a huge shrub/tree growing beside it that is now tall enough to be interferring with the line.

Please can you organise for it to be trimmed as to lose my online services would cost me a lot of money.

It will be the responsibility of whoever's land the offending shrubbery sits.

The telegraph pole will be owned by Openreach, not TalkTalk. As to who owns this shrub is anyone's guess.

PS, I have removed the address as this forum can be viewed by anyone all over the world. Any personal details should be in your Community Profile.

Hi Kaboom, as the other members have pointed out this is the responsibility of the landowner on which the bush is growing.

I know what I would do get some pruning shears and just cut at the bottom each main shoot, they wil soon die off. Whos going to moan about that just do it early one day while no one looking,
