Funny how the MPs get involved when people are complaining about new utility poles, not when it's going in the ground.

It's made worse by companies not telling anyone what they're up to until the last second.

We had contractors for two altnets digging at the same time at one point.

This is a good site for reading about it too (I think I've seen you post ispreview before, but here it is anyway): https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2024/09/telecoms-minister-updates-on-effort-to-limit-uk-broadband-poles-via-infrastructure-sharing.html
