Campaign activity — October 2025
Fresh flyers, new banners, and renewed pressure on ISPs, Leeds City Council, and the Minister for Data Telecommunications.
Protect Garforth
Boycott all services delivered by telegraph poles and lobby for their removal from the streets.
“I'd encourage all Garforth residents who want to keep their neighbourhood as free from unsightly overground infrastructure as it always has been to get involved in this inspiring and active local campaign against Giggle Fibre's telegraph pole installation programme. The views of Garforth residents should come first - after all, it's residents who live here and will be here long after Giggle Fibre has moved on.” — Richard Burgon MP
Westminster meeting summary — 22 May
Garforth residents met the Minister of State for Data Protection and Telecoms, Sir Chris Bryant, joined by MP Richard Burgon.

Giggle Fibre's response to community concerns
