Residents in the large Fife (Scotland, UK) village of East Wemyss have succeeded in petitioning Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) to remove several of its recently deployed telegraph poles. The poles were built to help bring full fibre (FTTP<\/a>) broadband to the area, but locals found them “obtrusive<\/em>” and feared the value of their homes might suffer.<\/p>\n

We should point out that Openreach<\/a>’s local project is part of their wider work to deploy a new Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP network to cover 6,400 premises in and around the Leven area. The village of East Wemyss is home to a population of roughly 2,000 and only 5 of the poles being deployed in this area, within a specific part of the village, are impacted by today’s news.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> We realise that \u201ctelegraph poles<\/em>\u201d is a description that doesn\u2019t strictly match today\u2019s use of the structures. But the reason we use it is that saying \u201cpoles<\/em>\u201d is very generic (can be confused with other things) and isn\u2019t as immediately familiar.<\/div>\n

According to The Courier<\/a>, some of the village’s residents felt as if the poles, one of which had been deployed right outside somebody’s window, had “spoiled what is a beautiful little village<\/em>“. In response, the residents got together and signed a joint petition that called upon Openreach<\/a> to reconsider.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the cost of going underground would simply be too high for a build to be viable, which is where poles come in. Such poles are typically built using Permitted Development<\/strong> (PD) rights, which means they don\u2019t have to go through the usual planning process and can pop up quite quickly, often without residents getting much of a say, which adds to the frustrations of those who oppose them.<\/p>\n

The good news, at least for those with a concern, is that the network operator has agreed to remove the poles.<\/p>\n

A Spokesperson for Openreach said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Wherever we can, we use our existing duct and pole network to avoid digging and disruption. But in order to be able to include some properties in the upgrade, we may need to put up new poles or carry out roadworks.<\/p>\n

In this case we\u2019ve had several complaints from the local community about five new poles \u2013 and we\u2019ve listened to residents\u2019 views and sympathise. Last week we arranged to have the five poles removed, and the work [has now taken place].”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Openreach added that they’d now go “back to the drawing board<\/em>” to consider how to move forward with the broadband upgrade for the area, which, as we’ve said above, may be difficult unless they can find an economically viable solution. The cost of going underground may simply be too expensive and if that is the case then locals may have to wait years longer, until the government’s Project Gigabit scheme gets into gear for Scotland.<\/p>\n

Sadly, poles have a tendency to divide public opinion when they\u2019re erected (examples here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>) and, as a result, they remain one of the least loved pieces of modern broadband and phone infrastructure (not unlike mobile masts).<\/p>\n

However, poles are also a very common sight across much of the UK, and plenty of people would be more than happy to accept their deployment if it meant gaining access to a full fibre network. Likewise, there seems to be no shortage of studies claiming to show how the provision of faster broadband tends to result in house values going up, rather than down. So far as we can tell, the wide use of poles has not stopped UK house prices from rising.<\/p>\n

In 2021 we asked 657 of our readers whether they would accept poles to get FTTP<\/a>, if the alternative meant having to wait years longer for the service, and 71% said they’d take the poles. A few months ago we asked 400 readers if, when looking to buy a new house, the existence of poles in the street outside to carry fibre would be a major negative factor in their decision and 77% said no. But clearly plenty of people do still have a negative perception of them, particularly those who hail from areas where poles have not previously been used.<\/p>\n

Some residents will always welcome the rejection of new infrastructure work, particularly when it relates to the deployment of poles, but others who want it end up being punished by those who cannot yet see the future benefits. By comparison, deploying new trenches is a significantly slower and much more disruptive \/ expensive type of civil engineering, which can create all sorts of different problems for residents (e.g. noise, road disruption, restrictions to property access, safety etc.). But the latter does have the advantage of building a much more discreet network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
