We have had this problem in this area before and we have put pointed tops on the boxes so the kids can not sit on them .One customer decided to smear oil and paint on one box and was told by the poilce and council to clean it up as the techs kept getting it on our selfs .If you do this the right way VM will do something about it but moving the cab is the very last option and its the councils say .It could be yes it has to be moved and we have to do it at our cost or yes it can be moved but you have to pay .Most of the time its the second one as VM would appeal and yes i have seen this done and they won .When a the network is at planning stage the council would but out a notice the houses near where the box s to be put if there are no objections then we can put the box there .It is the councils doing as we had a number of these rejected when the network was built .
