Fund shortfall blocks move to bury utility cables on Third Road
PATTAYA:--Money remains the main stumbling block to continuing efforts to bury utility wires below Pattaya’s streets.

City Councilman Banlue Kullavanijaya, who has led the war on unsightly power, telephone and cable-television wires over the past few years, met March 4 with representatives from the Provincial Electrical Authority, CAT Telecom, TOT, the Banglamung Waterworks Authority and Pattaya local cable operators to move forward plans to relocate cables along Third Road and other tourists areas below ground.

The utility companies threw up a variety of perceived obstacles to the plan, from their inability to widen Third Road to continued flooding in targeted areas.

Not enough grease in the bidding documents.

I guess that as the concrete posts which the cables are suspended from.... are on the council owned land/pavements ...they belong to the Council,....

Therefore the Council could inform the service providers of a "fixed date" when they will be removed.....also informing them of the "fee" to be charged for use of the "below ground" facility.....(providing they can identify who owns which of the multitude of cables)

No payment.....No using

But do they have the "will" to do this ......
