An interesting request from Richard Owen for the removal telegraph poles in his street – Overstone Road in Hammersmith.
He says:
“The majority of London streets have dispensed with them, and the poles plus cobweb of wires make a significant visual impact in a historic conservation area. We are due a major repair programme to pavements and roadway in the next few years and that might also be an opportunity to take out the poles.”
These pictures of Cerrigydrudion High Street – ironically courtesy of the “Telegraph Pole Appreciation Society” – show what a difference removing the clutter makes.
Re suggested removal of telegraph poles and unsightly wires in Overstone Street – great idea in my opinion! Could the same be done for the poles in Cardross Street ?
I always wonder why they are still there too,they`re something of an anachronism nowadays if they don`t actually do anything!!..Who owns them,BT?
