Residents in a Rossendale community express anger and disappointment over the recent installation of broadband poles, which have ruined the scenic views they moved to the area for.
Residents in one Rossendale community are furious over the recent installation of broadband poles in town. Abi Cadogan lives on Horncliffe Close and says a number of broadband installations have cropped up in her area.
Living in a tight-knit community, Abi says her neighbours had not been informed, nor had they been asked about the installation of the pole. She says a lot of her elderly neighbours have been upset by the "horrendous 15ft pole".Abi also recalls a neighbour having their planning permission for a two-storey house denied because the proposed development would "obscure our view". She adds: "Now there's an enormous post outside.
"My kids, honestly, we've had so many tears, everybody's really upset," Abi said. "Genuinely it feels like they've stolen a bit of the sky. We used to sit and just gaze out of the window and you could see the whole hill. You could see the halo and you could see the whole profile of the landscape. Now you can't because there's this huge thing in the way."
"Currently, full fibre broadband is only available to around 60%* of homes in the country, with residents having been historically misled into believing that the option they already have is the most advanced - but not all options advertised as fibre are full fibre. These upgrades are therefore important to serve current and future generations, future-proofing the services for all.
