Electric pole maintenance issues

I'd be speaking to the company with the Unimog that contacted you a couple of years ago.

Looks a bit damp.

 

 

There is a possibility it was a windblown tree cut off the lines during a storm or fault.

Well spotted, I was going to add to my post that if there's an emergency you'd expect the network operators to be able to clear the cables if necessary. They often do that round here.

 

In which case it would still be worth talking to them to see if more clearance is required and ensure you're both happy with the work.

Agree windblown and root plate settled back. UK Power networks cover Norfolk.

Thanks all and good call about it having settled back. We've had a lot of windblown Ash in this part of the woods.

Think you will find this ash is actually a Poplar!

Yeah look at the twig bud on  right doesn't look like ash...

Would be good to have a positive ID, when I first started cutting some of these trees, I was convinced it was Poplar, then I was informed they were Ash and I've gone with that ever since. I'll put some more pictures up in a while. 

[Lowestoft Firewood]

Poplar I reckon.

BTS are the company who do a lot of the line clearance in Norfolk.
