Thanks for all the replies guys,
There are two CATV Manhole covers. One on the street (which is directly behind the black car) and the other is actually right next to the box. (This was covered by chips at the time of the initial inquiry)
I'm still in talks with VM with regards to the removal of the box but from our discussions it sounds like they will be moving it or disconnecting it altogether for no cost.
I'll keep you posted on its progress.
Thanks again.
