Over the past few months, our engineers have been continuing legal negotiations with the site provider, barring any unforeseen circumstances we expect all legal steps to be completed by the middle of May. Pending a positive outcome from the legal steps, we can start building the equipment needed for the new mast and confirm an approximate on-air date for the new mast.
We will keep you updated on this post

Over the past few months, our engineers have been continuing the legal negotiations with the site provider to agree the terms for the build to start. Once the terms have been accepted and we have a date to access the area and start building the equipment needed for the new mast, we can confirm an approximate on-air date for the new mast.

We are aware of a signal issue that is affecting some of our customers in the Wednesbury area. Our mast in the area had to be removed from the existing site at the end of November 2024, as this was requested by the landowner. Our engineers began looking for a new location as soon as we were made aware our equipment had to be removed.
Our engineers have completed surveys and designs at one location, and found the area will be suitable for the equipment. We are currently working with the landowner to access the area and start building the equipment needed for the new mast. Pending a positive outcome from the negations, we can start building the equipment and confirm an approximate on-air date for the new mast.

So with that in mind, EE must of known that it was going in approx. June 2023.
Damn those pesky planning authorities. If only EE could rock up with a month or two's notice after finding a suitable location, and install new masts without bothering with planning applications or lease negotiations. And if only those planning authorities would actually approve those applications rather than listening to pesky locals!
The alternative view is that the eviction notice was ignored and zero efforts were made - something which even the most cynical person would surely realise is ridiculous. Every network is affected by these situations from time-to-time, none are immune or exempt.
