Unfortunately it's not that simple...

It was for me. As said above we won in court twice. From what the OP has said there was no written agreement. The verbal agreement has not been adhered to and they have caused criminal damage over part of his families private land. However the verbal agreement could never of happened unless documented so they have just put a phone line in without written permission or way leave.

Wayleave was negotiated for 2 years.
Route, depth, backfill, etc.
All ignored.

If we were keeping the property then the cable wouldn't be underground now!
I have some pretty poor forklift drivers and digger drivers.
There is a history of vandalism and theft of wires locally.

Many options.

They have been fecking around with this for 2 years. I have regular emails saying it is ongoing. They have all my details, the agreed route and the specifications, conditions etc.

They were last coming in March before the grass started growing. I agreed and told them to let me know and I'd be there to show them the drains and repair them if necessary.
This is all for the benefit for our neighbour who can't think beyond BT. He saw the work happening and couldn't be bothered to let me know either. The neighbour relationship is being recalibrated and the price of a piece of land he wishes to buy has just increased by 10%. Bless him.

We have made alternative arrangements for internet and calls because for 20 years the thin piece of copper hasn't been fit to hold conversations on.

We're not BT customers. f**k 'em!
Recalibrate relationship with neighbours

There's a big difference between taking Openreach to court and taking the law into one's own hands.
