Last year I had a visit from someone concerned with a couple of trees on the land next to our house which were touching the overhead power line. I was pleased about this as one of them is also taking most of the light from my greenhouse. I gave them the name and address of the landowner but nothing has been done. How can I find out which utility company is responsible for the line? I don't really want to contact the landowner as we have had disputes with him in the past.

the neighbour of my workplace decided to grow conifers under the power line,way before i worked there,10 years before maybe?

but one day a member of staff ran up to me saying the lines down.the tree was on fire and the the line was dancing on the floor,right next to our stables.two fire engines,and a hefty fine to the neighbour i believe

sorry about the long story but you should contact the local council for advise,they may know whom is liable for the power line

Normally the power-line 'pillars' have a contact number attached on some of them..have a little 'walk on the wild side' and see if there is one of those... ;)

Thanks, I hadn't thought about either the concil or the pillars!

I think if you call National Grid they will be able to tell you..
