I knew there was one who was uninterested ... but did not fancy a trawl through the whole thread to find any more.

This is certainly not a political issue - so no parties need naming, but it has been very badly handled by the council staff.

Well done!

You should get the council diving for cover and planning permission approved very quickly now!

Still have to wait many months to get enabled though

an article, 2 pages after this one about Essex County Council crowing it would have 90% of Essex on Super fast broadband by 2015.

making its pledge as its new plan won Government approval...

colchester council still not given me a formal reply, hope they read these articles first

Yes Prime Minister springs to mind!

I used to work in local government and this sort of thing goes on all the time - I presume the planning manager is covering his backside but BT don't appear to be entirely blameless either.

I think the ball is back in BT's court, probably will a guarantee of approval if they fill the form in correctly (and pay the money!).

Reading that letter confirms my feelings that the agent done a very poor job when submitting the second application, they should have addressed all the reasons as to why the first application was rejected.
