Local councillors and activists travelled to MS3’s head office in Hessle’s Priory Park to present them with the pledge launched to try and stop the installation of poles in Hedon. South West Holderness Cllr Steve Gallant said calls to stop putting up poles would continue to prevent the blighting of villages and towns like Hedon. MS3 chief operating officer Tony Jopling said they had continued to follow the telegraph code of conduct during its works to install poles in Hedon in the last week.
Cllr Gallant joined Cllr John Dennis, also of South West Holderness and locals outside the company’s offices in Owen Avenue. Cllr Gallant said the 1,061 pledges from Hedon, where around 2,000 are on the electoral register, represented a significant majority of the town. Cllr Gallant said: “Today we went to MS3’s offices to tell them we have passed 1,000 pledges from Hedon households to boycott them and any internet service providers using poles.
