Hi,

In our area there is a policy that if a cable is running through trees etc
then we make it our responsibility to cut the trees back or what ever needs
doing at no cost to the person whose property the tree is situated. This
type of enquiry is put through to our engineering department who will
arrange for the local depot to do the job.
If you were to let me know your post code I would be able to look up your
distribution area and be able to provide you with the relevant telephone
number of the engineering department.

Many thanks for your help - I did read somewhere that the electricity
companies spend thousands each year cutting trees back.

We live in East Anglia, postcode IP28 6xx, if you could let me know a
phone number that would be really appreciated.

regards
