Some good news today, Some nice Openreach man somewhere in the world and has had a look and must have found something not to nice. He has advised me that we can get a survey done of the site and distance and run a new line if it is within the distance tolerance. Ie the line is say only 2.5KM and not the 8 that it is reading. Even so the poles are there and it would suggest to me that they can run a new method of jointing to get to my property.
Fingers crossed the Open Reach man that surveys is having a nice day...
