People in Withington are furious
People in a south Manchester suburb have been left fuming over plans to erect 'eyesore' 15m broadband poles in their neighbourhood.
Allen Roseman added: “There should be more of a planning permission route because it has local, visual and environmental impact. It’s from one issue to the next. We already have good internet for the area it's not needed.” Victoria Butler, who lives on Allen Road, one of the streets where the broadband poles are set to be installed, said: “We’ve just had all the issues with the roadblock planters and now we have to fight against these broadband poles - it’s one thing after another to deal with.”
"I would point out that, on the point where residents do not feel listened to, we have been listening to and acting on the concerns that they have been raising with us, and doing everything we can to support them. 'It's just common decency' Bill Simpson, who has lived in the Withington estate for 38 years, said: “We found stickers all over Hatherley Road, Alan Road, School Grove and you think what is this about? We haven’t even received a letter through the post, it's just common decency.The poles have already appeared in other areas of Greater Manchester, including Bolton where they have proved highly controversial with residents.
