The Conservative MP for Beverley and Holderness, Graham Stuart<\/a>, has followed up his previous calls for the UK government to clampdown on the use of “ugly and unnecessary<\/em>” poles – used to deploy some gigabit broadband networks – by sending a letter to the Digital Infrastructure Minister, Julia Lopez, which makes five key “demands<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

Poles that support the deployment of overhead cables are a common sight across much of the UK (Openreach<\/a> alone has deployed around 4 million of them) and can be built under Permitted Development<\/strong> (PD) rights with only minimal prior notice. But poles also have a tendency to rub people up the wrong way, particularly when they’re deployed along streets that haven\u2019t previously had them before, or where too many poles already exist.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> We recommend reading the Revised Cabinet and Pole Siting Code of Practice Nov 2016<\/a>.<\/div>\n

Network operator’s often use poles because they’re significantly cheaper, less disruptive and quicker to deploy than running new trenches down pavements. Sometimes they may even be the only viable option due to the limitations of the area (no existing ducts or space for new trenching etc.). The high cost of trenching also means that poles often make the difference between an area getting a competitive full fibre network or being skipped.<\/p>\n

The situation in East Yorkshire, particularly around full fibre (FTTP<\/a>) deployments in the Hull area by MS3<\/a> and Connexin<\/a> (e.g. Hedon, Beverley), is further complicated by the fact that the operators have found it difficult to run their fibre via KCOM<\/a>’s existing infrastructure. This is partly because Ofcom<\/a> doesn\u2019t strictly require KCOM<\/a> to offer a regulated cable duct and pole access solution that is exactly like the one Openreach<\/a> offers via Physical Infrastructure Access<\/strong> (PIA), which is something we’ve discussed before (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Suffice to say, the rival operators claim that it is economically unviable to use KCOM<\/a>’s ducts when compared with Openreach<\/a>\u2019s pricing, which they use elsewhere in the country. The situation has partly contributed to the protests that both operators have faced against their use of poles in parts of the same area (examples here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Graham Stuart’s Demands<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

In response to all this the local MP, Graham Stuart, has now written a new letter to the Government’s Digital Infrastructure Minister, Julia Lopez, which makes “five demands<\/em>” following appeals from over 200 residents (although we could only see four demands listed in his statement).<\/p>\n

Beverley and Holderness MP, Graham Stuart, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cResidents are fed up with the poles nightmare. I\u2019m against these ugly and unnecessary poles, and it\u2019s disappointing that the situation hasn\u2019t changed since September last year.<\/p>\n

Most residents don\u2019t want to see these poles close to their front gardens, even if they are desperate for cheaper broadband bills.<\/p>\n

My conversations with ministers are ongoing, but the people of Beverley and Holderness demand action now, and I will continue to press the Government to provide that action.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Key Demands<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a4 He asked for the Department for Science and Technology to remind KCOM of its responsibilities to provide fair access to its ducts. While KCOM has contended that it does provide access, MS3<\/a> and Connexin<\/a> claim that it is economically unviable to use their ducts when compared with Openreach\u2019s pricing, which they use elsewhere in the country.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 He has requested that the Department create a code of conduct for the erection of broadband poles, so that they are not erected in egregious places like a few feet in front of peoples\u2019 front rooms.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 He has requested a review into permitted development, which is what allows the poles to be erected. Graham contends that while poles could be appropriate in areas where there is no economic case for ducts, in areas where they already exist sharing of infrastructure should be the only available option to network builders.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 He has also requested that the code of conduct in the Electronic Communications Code be made mandatory for network builders to follow. He is concerned that companies have no incentive to engage with the community, and that engagement should be enshrined in the code.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In terms of the first demand, the law does require KCOM to fairly share access to their existing infrastructure, but operators expecting the same level of access, flexibility and affordability as PIA from Openreach will probably run into a problem with the KCOM’s commercial terms. KCOM do make all the right noises on this front, but the reality is that it may take greater intervention from Ofcom<\/a> to cause a significant shift, and that sort of thing is often a very slow process.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the government has already made some recent changes to PD rights and the ECC, but most of those were intended to make it easier for network operators to upgrade and deploy new broadband and mobile infrastructure – not harder. Any further changes to legislation could take 1.5-3 years to reach the implementation phase.<\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve said before, local authorities are limited in their powers to stop such work and the UK government remains unlikely to pay much heed to any attempts to restrict it. This is because any limitations on such builds would seriously damage their own targets for digital infrastructure under Project Gigabit (i.e. \u201cnationwide\u201d (c.99%) gigabit broadband coverage by 2030).<\/p>\n

Lest we also forget that quite a lot of people would still 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. On the other hand, there\u2019s a General Election looming and, as similar complaints grow, politicians may need to do more than merely play lip service to the issue. Suffice to say, there\u2019s a very difficult balancing act to be performed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
