Deal covers cables
A NEW five-year agreement covering payment for fibre optic cables on overhead lines in England and Wales has been agreed between Estates and Wayleaves, farming unions and the CLA.
As from the beginning of this month, cables with up to 36 fibres attract a rate of 28p/m, up from 22.5p. A further 12.5% rise will kick in next December, to 31.5p, and this rate will be held until Nov 30, 2004. Cables with an unlimited number of fibres are now worth 40p/m compared with the old rate of 32.5p. This will rise to 45p next Dec, and will also be held for four years. *
