In Madeley, Crewe, broadband companies are planning to install telegraph poles along our streets and throughout the village, deeply affecting the charm and landscape of our beloved community. The beauty of our village, with its historic and picturesque scenery, is under threat by these industrial additions that disrupt the aesthetic and potentially reduce property values.

Our streets, where the essence and character of Madeley are prominently displayed, is not simply a path for utilities but a vibrant part of our community's heritage. Allowing these telegraph poles to intrude not only mars the visual harmony of our surroundings but also sets a precedent for future infrastructure developments without proper consultation or regard for resident input.

While the need for improved broadband services is understandable, there must be a way to achieve this without compromising the integrity and beauty of our environment. Alternative solutions exist, such as underground cabling, which maintain the service improvements while preserving the visual appeal of our village.

It is crucial that all voices are heard when decisions of this magnitude are made, especially when they impact the daily lives and homes of so many. Ensuring that our community has a say in how and where these installations occur is imperative.

Please join us in urging local authorities and broadband providers to reconsider the plans for telegraph poles and explore less intrusive options. Sign this petition and help protect the unique identity of Madeley, ensuring that no changes occur without the voice and agreement of its residents.
