Move Overhead Cables Underground

The Council recognises that overhead cables can sometimes be visually unacceptable for property owners.

The overhead cable networks are owned and used by a variety of utility companies. If you are a property owner, the Council can help you find out if the cables can be moved underground by:

• providing contact details for the particular network operators so you can find out the cost of removing a particular section
• indicating if footpath or carriageway resurfacing is planned in the area (this may reduce the cost of the works).
