Neighbours on a Nottingham street have been left without internet after a lorry knocked over a telegraph pole while trying to access a building site. The vehicle collided with the post in Beckhampton Road, Bestwood, at around 10am on Monday, January 9.
Residents said the driver was trying to reverse down the road when it struck the pole, causing it to tilt and the wires to snap. “I thought it’d hit a van," recalled Sheila Watson, 75, whose house has been left without internet or a home phone signal as a result.
"I heard such a bang and thought it had hit something. I looked and the pole was at an angle and the wires had snapped. So now I’ve got no Sky or phone or nothing. I pay £120 a month for Sky so my grandson can use it."
