Telegraph poles became a contentious issue in the UK in 2024, triggered by public demonstrations against their installation. The Labour government requested telecom operators to revise their Code of Practice, leading to new best practice recommendations by ISPA UK and INCA. While the installation of these poles is allowed under existing planning regulations, complaints about their appearance and environmental impact have emerged from local residents. A working group was tasked with creating guidelines to balance infrastructure needs with community concerns, prompting dialogues between telecom companies and stakeholders about potential underground installations.
The installation of telegraph poles has sparked public demonstrations, prompting the UK Labour government to seek a revised Code of Practice for their deployment.
Residents have raised concerns over the aesthetics and environmental impact of telegraph poles, leading some communities to consider legal action against telecom firms.
The recent best practice recommendations for telecommunications poles aim to standardize how these structures are installed, addressing community concerns while promoting infrastructure growth.
The Telecommunications Poles Working Group's initiative is a response to growing dissatisfaction, aiming to create guidelines that balance infrastructure needs with local community sentiments.
