Hiya All

Last year i (and other on my block of flats) had my bedsit modernised, changing a back wall to give more space in the living quarters. well this have left quite a lot of cable in the flat that needs tidying up (about 6ft+), just sking if it would cost me anything seeing as it was not my choice the have the flat changed(councel).

Thanks

I would expect yes you would be charged the standard £50 callout fee. Even though it wasn't your descision, it's still your problem I am afraid. You may get around with bit of arguing, my thought would be to go to the council and bill them for it though.

can you tie it up and hide the cable? failing that trip over it and rip it out of the wall!!!

trip over it... i am sure some sleazy lawyer could make a case against the council and you would win loads of compensation...

Realistically, I think you can't expect NTL to pay for tidying up because the council decided to modernise your flat. You could ask if the council would be willing to.
