IX Wireless, who are installing equipment in several areas of the region, have been condemned by all parties making up Bolton Council
Complaints about broadband firm IX Wireless building masts and poles have left councillors ‘overwhelmed and powerless’ in the face of growing public anger, a meeting has heard.
This week, residents in Rollesby Close, Brandlesholme, Bury held a sit in protest against IX Wireless, occupying the land the company were set to work on. The company claim their work is to ‘build and maintain a new high-speed broadband network’. “Some are positioned against gable ends restricting residents’ ability to maintain their property or erected in clusters near the same property.
Bolton Council will now prepare an urgent report on what powers the council has to control the activities of IX Wireless and ask Chris Green MP to clarify what relationship he has with IX Wireless and why he received and accepted a political donation from the company.The meeting also heard from Coun Andrea Taylor-Burke.
“Officers in the planning service have sought legal advice in respect to whether enforcement action can be taken and where planning law has been breached the service will seek to take appropriate enforcement action.” “The placement of the poles is 100% compliant, and local councils are always aware of any work being undertaken.
