Leconfield Parish Council 
We need discussion to plan for reaction to any wifi company arriving to put up telegraph poles wherever they fancy. County Council has put at least a temporary stop to such actions in Hedon & Cottingham but we need guarantee that they cannot continue desicrating our landscapes & KCOM must be forced to offer shared use of their conduits at reasonable cost.
