Our friends from UFO have announced that they are returning to the area to install more broadband cables.
They will be working over the the next few weeks in Eaton Court, Walker Drive, Barkston Road & Bramham Avenue.
Probably not good news for local footpaths and verges!
There is still some concern that verge reinstatement’s which are being reported as “complete” are actually quite unsightly. In part this may be put down to the recent very dry weather.
However, the local community should not have to put up with dust-bowl verges like those on Foxwood Lane – near Chesney’s Field – which were first dug up about 6 months ago.

TalkTalk have published the latest work programme for their Ultra Fibre Optic (UFO) broadband installation project (see left)
There is some better news from the company, who have said that they will now start on final remedial works to verges and other grassed areas which were damaged when work continued during the recent poor weather.
They have also said that they will start to replace the bitmac temporary reinstatements which were an ugly feature of the works in streets such as Stuart Road. The original concrete finish will be re-established.
Any improvement will be welcomed by residents who have had to suffer major inconvenience over the last 5 months.
We doubt if the footpaths will ever be returned to their original condition.
