do i have any rights over telegraph pole obstucting my drive?

[karen33]

where i live we have the telegraph pole over hanging our drive by about 12" give or take a few inches, this morning while reversing out of the drive i hit the pole this is not the 1st time because of parked cars opposite my house and having to turn tighter than normal. it has dented in my wing and scraped all the bumper i popped into the body repair shop and it's going to cost over £200 to get repaired, i was wondering if i could make a claim agains open reach on the grounds of the telegraph pole being an obstruction?

They could claim for damage to their pole!

Is your drive " dropped " ?

I don't give you much hope of getting damages from the accident, but why not just contact Openreach and ask them to re-site the pole?
