Undergrounding Overhead Cables

The Council recognises that overhead cables can sometimes be visually unacceptable for property owners and can provide some help for those wishing to look into undergrounding these cables.

The overhead cable networks are owned and used by a variety of utility companies and the Council can help property owners 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).
