Telegraph Poles
There have been a number of residents upset by the sudden appearance of Telegraph poles installed by Airband.
The Parish Council have not had prior notice of the installation of the poles as it is not a legal obligation to notify us.
If you would like to complain about the poles the best course of action is to follow the steps below:
- Write to your local MP. For the case of Elmley Castle this is Harriet Baldwin MP. However if you are unsure who your local MP is then you can find out here. Find your MP – MPs and Lords – UK Parliament
- You may wish to sign a petition that has been set up locally. Petition · Oppose the installation of all overground communications poles as a cheap alternative.. · Change.org This petition is not affiliated to the Parish Council.
- Complain directly to Airband. Contact us | Airband
The Parish Council will support residents where they can and this issue will be discussed at the next Parish Council meeting.

Elmley Castle Defibrillator
We are pleased to report that the Defibrillator in the old phone box on Main Street, Elmley Castle is now back operational.
Elmley Castle Defibrillator
The Defibrillator in the old telephone box on Main Street, Elmley Castle has had to be temporarily removed due to a delay in the supply of replacement pads and battery.
The Parish Council very much hope that this will be rectified within the next few weeks but we are in the hands of the suppliers of the replacement parts.
The next nearest working Defib is in Bricklehampton close to the entrance with Court Farm (just after the Church).
We will post again when the Elmley kit is back in service.
