Gov MP Graham Stuart has called on Digital Secretary Julia Lopez to tighten the rules surrounding the installation of broadband poles in residential areas.
Stuart, who is the MP for Beverley and Holderness, has been a vocal critic of the current system, which he claims allows for the installation of poles without proper consultation with local residents.
In a letter to Lopez, Stuart argued that the current rules are ‘outdated’ and ‘do not take into account the needs of local communities.’
He also pointed out that the current system allows for the installation of poles without proper consideration for the impact on local residents, including those who may have concerns about the aesthetics of the poles or the potential disruption to their daily lives.
‘I urge you to take immediate action to tighten the rules and ensure that local residents are properly consulted and informed throughout the process,’ Stuart wrote.
Stuart’s call for action comes as the UK government is set to introduce new legislation aimed at improving the country’s broadband infrastructure.
‘This is a critical moment for the UK’s broadband infrastructure, and it is essential that we get it right,’ Stuart said.
He also pointed out that the current system is not only outdated but also ‘inefficient’ and ‘costly,’ and that it is essential to find a more effective and efficient way to install broadband poles.
‘We need to find a way to install broadband poles that is more efficient, more effective, and more cost-effective,’ Stuart said.
Stuart’s call for action has been welcomed by local residents who have been affected by the installation of broadband poles in their area.
‘We are grateful to Graham Stuart for his support and for his efforts to improve the situation,’ said one local resident.
Stuart’s letter to Lopez is the latest in a series of efforts by the MP to improve the situation for local residents.
‘I will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that the needs of local residents are met,’ Stuart said.
