TUESDAY of this week, I noticed in Church Lane, North Bradley, near the junction with Southwick Road, a large branch of a tree resting on the overhead cables causing quite a bit of tension on the cable.

I assumed that these were electric cables so I telephoned the electricity authority. I received a telephone call later in the day stating that these were BT cables. This morning (Wednesday), I noticed the branch still resting on the wire. I phoned BT and was told we can’t remove it, the owner of the tree must be told.

So if telephones go dead in the area now you know. I don’t think I shall be so quick in the future reporting such items.
