Subject: Objection to Telegraph Pole Installation in Garforth

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to formally express my objection to your plans to install telegraph poles throughout Garforth as part of your broadband rollout.

As a resident of the area, I have serious concerns about the impact of this approach, particularly given that:

The previous provider, Spring Fibre, had committed to underground installation after consulting with the community. Your decision to revert to telegraph poles disregards this agreement and undermines local trust.

The installation of above-ground poles will negatively impact the visual appeal of our streets, potentially reducing property values and creating unnecessary clutter in an area that deserves modern, high-quality infrastructure.

There is growing frustration among residents that telecommunications companies can bypass meaningful local consultation under permitted development rights, leading to intrusive infrastructure being imposed on communities without proper scrutiny.

Given these concerns, I urge you to reconsider your approach and commit to underground installation in line with the expectations set by Spring Fibre. Additionally, I request that you:

 - Suspend any planned telegraph pole installations in Garforth until meaningful engagement with residents has taken place.
 - Attend a public meeting to discuss alternative installation methods with affected residents.
 - Provide clear justification for why telegraph poles are being pursued despite the precedent set by Spring Fibre.

Residents of Garforth welcome improved broadband services, but not at the cost of our community’s character and aesthetics. I strongly urge you to listen to local voices and take a more responsible approach to infrastructure deployment.

I look forward to your response and a constructive discussion on this matter.

Yours sincerely,

[Name]
