Electricity poles removed from forest landscape to preserve view
Electricity North West has invested £286,000 to remove the poles between Backsbottom, Harterbeck and Stauvin in Roeburndale, which had been a firm fixture in the area for more than 60 years.
The company worked alongside the Forest of Bowland AONB to successfully replace the power lines with underground cables to improve the overall appearance of the area, which is enjoyed by many walkers throughout the year.
