RESIDENTS have been left fuming over plans to erect 'eyesore' 15 metre tall broadband poles in their neighbourhood.
Local councillors who met with the IXW Build surveyor confirmed IX Wireless poles will be installed in various streets around Withington but they have been met with a furious backlash from locals who argue the poles are unnecessary and 'threaten' the charm and character of the neighbourhood.
The applications are submitted under permitted development rights, meaning they do not require planning permission from the local authority and cannot be called into the planning committee to be debated or refused by the council.
Though signs have been spotted on various streets around the ward, neighbours have complained there is no 'full picture' on where, when or how many poles will be installed in the area and argue it has left locals 'blindly in the dark' about the process.
Resident Marilyn Roseman told the M.E.N.: "There is no clear instruction on where the poles will be going so to give a full picture for the community. We are all confused and left blindly in the dark about this." Allen Roseman added: "There should be more of a planning permission route because it has local, visual and environmental impact.
