Homeowners say they are getting fed-up with telegraph poles being installed outside their properties. A local MP has now got involved after claims the structures are appearing "without permission or advance notice."
The Labour MP said she was calling for operators to apply for planning permission for poles and similar objects appearing near homes, gardens, and in the middle of pavements. Dame Diana Johnson said lax planning permission rules meant residents were not given an opportunity to have their say.
MPs are now set to debate the issue in the Commons on Wednesday, Dame Diana, for Kingston upon Hull North, has previously called for the law - which has classed such infrastructure as "permitted development" since 2021 - to change, HullLive reports.
