Hello, does anyone have any experience of cases where a landowner has secured a financial sum to mitigate the topping of a tree where it obstructs a wireless signal? I understand that the recently reviewed Communications Code: Electronic Communications Code - Law Commission did not favour a change in terms of giving providers the ability to require the pruning of vegetation for a wireless signal that was obstructed, whether this will translate to the draft bill we shall see. The trees in question are very visible and will be decapitated to the point of having very little landscape value. Thanks, C

Hi I'm trying to find out which are the main companies doing powerline and general utilities or roadwork in newcastle? its for a friend of mine who wants to get into tree work but has no experience and has just booked himself on cs 30 &31 and is struggling to find someone to give him a chance or work experience. So i thought a bigger company which might also put him through more courses as well might be worth a try?? Any thoughts would be appreciated Cheers Rob
