The electric pole in front of my property is covered by plants that have reached the cables and electric box, which poses a significant safety hazard. The fabric can interfere with the electrical system, potentially causing shorts, fires, or outages. I've contacted the local electric utility company who advised to contact you. Can you Help?

Council ref: ENQ241016852

  • Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. Oxfordshire County Council is not responsible for this problem as we do not maintain the pole and would not be responsible of the removal of self seeded vegetation here. This issue needs to be directly reported to the Utility. Kind regards
