Dear Sir or Madam
URGENT
You will find there is now a serious problem with access to your mast for larger vehicles. The landowner opposite has placed a row of large boulders along the south side of the lane opposite yous (and mine) entrance ways. I believe they have no right to do this. They claim ownership of the roadside kerb. Please look into this, I'm sure your companies word and might will carry more sway with the local authorities than mine. Many thanks Michael Sanders (owner of no. 23 Windmill Hill Windmill Hill)

You would do better to address your concerns to both Arqiva (who operate the transmitters) at Contact Us and your local authority.
This website has no responsibility for any broadcasting service or equipment as it is intended to offer mainly technical advice to resolve reception problems.
