You have to get that cable off your property. What if it needs repaired or replaced in future? Whose garden will be getting dug up if/when that happens? Yep, yours.
There is absolutely no reason for that cable to be on your property. Openreach should have dug their trench along the pavement until it reached your neighbour's boundary, and then they should have run it up through his lawn. The reason they did not do that was clearly to save themselves some time and money. Well, frankly, their time and money is not your problem! |
The cable is to be cut on the pavement outside my garden, redirected along pavement and down neighbours side of garden to his house. The pipe and cable under my garden will be severed at each end and will not be used again. It will be removed if my landscaper comes across it. If its as deep as they tell me he shouldnt find it. When asked if I wanted it removed I told them as it will be dead I will remove it if necessary they were happy with that [saves them a job]. I dont want them clumping on my garden anymore.
As I write this Cobra have arrived and started digging in the right direction.
