There's a BT cable running from the pole at the edge of my front garden
through my airspace to my neighbour's house. I also have a conifer
that's now gently brushing the cable. I don't think it's going to damage
it just yet.
Who's responsibility is it to keep my neighbour's cable clear of stuff
growing in my garden ?

or their contractors can't be guaranteed.
Therefore you might wish to take the initiative ?

I put 'power to lop trees overhanging' into the Welsh Highland Railway
and Llangollen Railway (Corwen extension) Transport & Works Orders so
I guess that the National Grid has similar powers. BT/OR as well.
