Provision of service for this applicant requires the erection of about 1½ miles of new pole route for which wayleave consent is required. Because of the difficulty in obtaining a wayleave from the local authority, the advance payment which was collected in December, 1965, was refunded last June. The applicant declined an offer of refund in December, 1966.
Discussions with the local authority regarding the grant of a wayleave were resumed some time ago but the outcome cannot at present be forecast.
