Hi

 

This is the tree in question. Red cables are the electric, orange is a telephone cable. There are more telephone cables on the far side of the tree. The third pic shows the tree from the road, the cables basically run through the dead centre of the image.

 

Its been pruned before and apparently the electric wasn't switched off for the job to be done.

I'm pretty sure ANY electric cable within 9m of tree and u have to phone the electric board anyway and they'll run throu the options. Was a similar thread on here about that just recently.

 

The network suppliers should keep branches a safe distance from the wires for free

As above.

The utility boys will clear the wires for free.

If your customer plays his cards right he'll get the job done for nothing.

 

Probably not what you wanted to hear!

if your not sure just call the electric company, no point taking chances around electric lines.
