Some 342 people in the Lancashire (England) town of Burnley have submitted a petition that calls on the local council to take to halt UK ISP Brsk<\/a>‘s use of poles in their roll-out of a new full fibre (FTTP<\/a>) network, which some residents claim has caused them to suffer “panic attacks<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

The operator – fuelled by an investment of at least \u00a3259m<\/strong> – is currently focusing most of its network build on parts of Greater Manchester, Lancashire, West Yorkshire and the West Midlands in England (e.g. Cottingley, Clayton, Bradford, Accrington and more). The long-term aim is to pass 1 million homes<\/strong> by 2026 and they\u2019ve already covered 358,000 premises (10th Nov 2023) – falling to 346,000 for those considered \u2018Ready for Service\u2019 (the gap largely reflects wayleave delays in secured MDU coverage).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Brsk is backed by investment from Advencap<\/strong> and the Ares Management Corp<\/strong>. The company is also home to 14,000 customers (21st Aug 2023).<\/div>\n

As part of that work Brsk, much like most network operators, have also been deploying wood poles to help run their overhead cables, which are a very common sight across the UK (millions have been built). Such poles are quick and cost-effective to build, can be deployed in areas where there may be no space or access agreement to safely put new underground cables, are less disruptive (avoiding the noise, access restrictions and damage to pavements of street works) and can be built under Permitted Development<\/strong> (PD) rights with only minimal prior notice.<\/p>\n

The lower cost impact of poles can often mean the difference between building competitive gigabit broadband into an area or skipping it. But not everybody is a fan and those who complain often focus on their negative visual appearance, as well as concerns about exposure to damage from major storms (example<\/a>), the lack of effective prior consultation or engineers that fail to follow safety rules while building (examples here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>). The issue often becomes particularly emotive in areas that haven’t previously had poles before.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say that the situation in Burnley<\/strong> echoes similar concerns, with the BBC News<\/a> reporting that some 342 residents have now petitioned the council to take action against Brsk’s ongoing roll-out to 50,000 premises<\/strong> in the town. Locals have complained about poles being placed too close to homes (hard to avoid that one as they need to be close), right outside front gates and sometimes in the middle of pavements, allegedly without them being consulted.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, Brsk claims they did notify residents about their plans and managers had visited those directly affected (we’ve requested a comment from them as the BBC<\/a> didn’t include one). Meanwhile, Burnley Council has said they will respond to the petition in due course, although it remains unclear whether they will be able to do as requested (i.e. support the petition’s call for removal of recently built poles and halting further erections).<\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve said before, councils are limited in their powers to stop such works and the UK government currently seems unlikely to pay much heed to any attempts to restrict it, as limitations on the build would seriously damage their own targets for digital infrastructure. Lest we forget that quite a lot of people would also be happy to see poles if it meant they could access more affordable full fibre broadband, but such voices are often drowned out by vocal campaigners.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, network operators do need to be very careful about their approach, particularly as we go into what will be a General Election year \u2013 disputes against poles are starting a gain more political support. We’ve already seen quite a few network operators opting to skip streets when local opposition becomes a concern. The downside is that this can result in a patchwork of coverage, which fuels consumer confusion over network availability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
