it is mains power or telegraph? if it is telegraph they replace them when there are rotten and have been known to move them a bit at the same time, if you enquire about moving it the bloke that comes round to have a look decides if it is rotten.dig dug dan wrote:well spotted giles. Highways ahve insisted some sort of barrier remain to protect the pole (£20,000 to move it!)
now i wouldn't possible suggest that say a monkey in the pocket guy who comes round would be a lot cheaper than £20,000, but if I wanted one moved I wouldn't be paying £20,000.

Funnily enough, the guy from bt arrived to "test" the pole (its phone not leccy)by tapping it with a hammer and poking a screwdriver in it, and he said its sound. before we arrived he could not get to it for the ivy!
The customer isn't bothered about paying to move it as he can still get two cars on his drive.
