Lab 10,979 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Anybody on here work for BT or know the answer to the question.....???????? After the first bout of snow my phone line snapped, BT the shower of fucks said they would have it fixed for the 15th and thats it just done today. Disgrace!!! Now for the past few years the trees have played a part in damaging the phone lines as well and because i live about 500 yards of a public road the lines have to come up my private drive. So does anyone now if its my legal obligation to cut these trees or is it BT's..? I hope its BT's and i can get the lazy fuckers out to do the job..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one 8,512 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Commission have been selling off land for years ,the ground could belong to anybody as insurance companies where buying it and just sitting waiting on the trees to mature to cash in ,or folk buying it for the shooting .Try phoning your local forestry office and asking them ?. or run the cable along the drive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hyperion 122 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 if the trees are interfering with phone lines its who ever owns the lines that needs to cut them, if the trees are overhanging your property then you can cut them back to your boundry, if they are over hanging a pavement any one can cut them back and anything else is the local councils job! least ways i think thats the way it stands, might be worth getting in touch with the council and fining out!

There's no shooting on the place now. Used to be a nice little syndicate too but when it was sold it all stopped. Would be nice to speak to the new owner to see if pigeon shooting would be allowed too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
