Hi 1st post, hopefully this is in the right place. I purchased some land from my local council which was next my house with the intention of fencing it off etc and making it into a garden, I got all the utility plans from the council to make sure I wouldnt dig through any pipes then as I was digging the fence post holes CRACK straight through a pipe containing the streets cable line which needed repairing. Upshot of the story is, The pipes arent in my deeds, the pipes dont appear in the council records, there is a poorly installed access point which cable engineers need regular access to, to pull through new cables etc but its all on my land and theyve told me to leave them access by building my fence around it even though they appear to have received no permission to be there. I was tempted to contact their planning dept and ask them to either remove their illegally laid pipes from my land or offer me some kind of subsidy from my bill (maybe free broadband subs) in exchange for granting them access. Does anyone know who best to contact as customer service are clueless buffoons
