Questions people ask

Can I use a cable cover across the pavement?

No. The cross-pavement solution has to be permanent, so cable covers and mats don't count.

Do I need permission?

Yes. The local highways authority has to agree, and so does anyone else the work needs permission from.

Who is paid the grant?

The installer claims it and is paid. You pay the rest of the price.
