Re: They do.
Or round here where CityFibre have been causing havoc with dangerous/illegal wildcat mobile roadworks, burying their fibre within a millimetre of the minimum allowed depth.
I look forward to it regularly being dug up by Warwickshire County Council Highways (and sub-contractors) along with Openreach, Cadent Gas, Severn Trent, Vermin Media as the usual miscreants.
