Crunch time over telegraph poles 'destroying landscape' of Rossendale Valley

A meeting will take place following a number of complaints about telegraph poles popping up across the Valley.

“I have some residents including on Park Wood Drive and Melia Close in Rawtenstall, that are unhappy with the affect the poles are having on the landscape.“I am pleased BRSK have agreed to have this meeting and I do hope they will follow up with the public. These poles seem to be rolling out across the Valley which will create a long-standing problem.

Brsk sent Michael an email this week to inform him a decision has now been made to not build the telegraph poles on Constable Lee Crescent. Poles were erected outside of Sandra and Roger Hindle’s home on Cedar Avenue in Rawtenstall which they say blighted their “forever home”. “This mandate can only be achieved by upgrading current broadband infrastructure to full fibre – the fastest and most reliable type of broadband available. Currently, full fibre broadband is only available to around 60% of homes in the country, which is why brsk are bringing better broadband to Rossendale.

“Although there is no requirement for planning permission, and no legal requirement for consultation with residents or businesses, we are proud to be transparent and proactive with our communication to keep residents and local authorities informed.
