There were additional reports of disrespectful reactions from contractors when residents confronted their inconsiderate working practices.
Residents in a village in Cornwall say they were essentially left trapped after their road was dug up with no warning.
Residents say they woke up to the sound of jackhammers the next morning before discovering trenches had been dug at the end of their properties.Cornwall councillor Karen Glasson admits there have been some problems with contractors.Andrew Willson, who lives on the road, said: “We didn't receive any fliers through the door. There was no signage, nothing. They just arrived and started blocking the road and cutting it open.
The firm’s deputy CEO Justin Clark said: “We have a commitment to working closely with communities during the build and whenever we start work in a local area or individual street we write to residents in advance, explaining exactly what we are going to do, when we are going to be working and providing a named contact should there be any questions or issues.
