one more day for openreach to dig.

I have said in other posts that I think openreach is doing somethng up here, according to bidb.uk, openreach is supposed to have roadworks down the bottom of my street from 22/08 to 24/08, so far nothing whatsoever, so maybe they are not doing anything after all.

I have not heard anything today and I walked past there yesterday and nothing.,

Took too long on previous job maybe, if so it will be booked again but local council will have rules on how much notice they need. I had then turn up with no notification, they got dobbed in and took off 2 days later and then the job was entered for a start date 3 weeks later.

Or they did everything they needed to do underground and it wasn’t visible?

I don't think so, if they did, why did they need to apply for roadworks? I have not seen any vans up here, about from a highway maintenance one.

So they could put up traffic lights if they needed to lift a grid in the middle of the road? Planning for all eventualities?

Fibre is going in round me and the booked roadworks for unblocking ducts and adding new bends to telegraph poles didn't happen last week. All the poles have CBTs now...

It's possible they submit permits for anything that could possibly need doing so that when they get to the actual day they can go ahead and dig without having to stop and submit plans for the work.

As you've repeatedly said you don't want FTTP anyway so who cares?

That could be true, I have not seen any vans of any sort, Openreach or Zzoomm for about a week, not that I have been very far,

I am just being nosy, want to know what is going on in the street I live in. I could also change my mind, but I can't see it, well nor for a while anyway.
