BT pole on my property, not in use
I’ll try keep this as short as possible, we moved into the property last year and finally got round to cutting back a big bush in our front garden, which then let us see that this BT pole is definitely within our property line and checked our property records, no way leave in place either. I raised a ticket as I had a feeling due to the lack of overhead wires it might not be in use, we could get it removed for free. I had a call with them today after sending photos per their request, they confirmed it’s currently not an active asset but due to the box on the pole (marked) they will not be archiving it due to possible future use (they didn’t give me any specifics).
Due to this, if I want it removed / moved we’d to pay for it ourselves (not willing to do). Is there any specific questions I could send back to them to build a case to remove it for free? It’s not in use, why should it be on my property I’m assuming it’s the inspection tag on it has been marked June 2016 on a 12 year periodic
