We, the concerned residents of Hedon and South Preston, are deeply troubled by the plans of MS3 Networks to erect unsightly 9-metre telegraph poles throughout our beautiful streets. We believe that these towering structures will not only mar the aesthetic appeal of our neighborhoods but also have adverse effects on property values and overall quality of life.

Telegraph poles are outdated and unnecessary in this day and age when underground cabling is a viable alternative. We urge MS3 Networks to reconsider their plans and explore more visually appealing options that do not compromise the charm and character of our lovely streets.

Here are some key reasons why we oppose the installation of these telegraph poles:

1. Visual Blight: The introduction of tall telegraph poles will disrupt the natural beauty and harmony of our surroundings, creating an eyesore for both residents and visitors alike.

2. Property Values at Risk: Studies have shown that unsightly infrastructure such as telegraph poles can significantly impact property values in a negative way. This could lead to financial losses for homeowners in Hedon and South Preston.

3. Safety Concerns: Tall telegraph poles pose potential hazards during severe weather conditions like storms or high winds, increasing the risk of accidents or damage to nearby properties.

4. Alternative Solutions Exist: Underground cabling is a proven technology widely used across many modern cities around the world. It provides a cleaner visual landscape while ensuring reliable connectivity without compromising safety or aesthetics.

We call upon MS3 Networks to listen to the concerns raised by residents who cherish their community's appearance, heritage, and tranquility. We request that they halt their plans for erecting these ugly 9-metre telegraph poles immediately.

By signing this petition, we express our strong opposition to this ill-conceived project which threatens to spoil our lovely streets forever. Together, let's protect the beauty and charm of Hedon and South Preston for future generations.

Please sign this petition to support our cause and help us preserve the unique character of our community. Together, we can make a difference!
