  • National law says not to hinder or endanger other users of the pavement, and there may be additional  local bylaws, as already there are in some towns about advertising boards outside shops,  and chairs outside cafes, etc etc.


    If someone falls over it, you may end up having to prove you made reasonable efforts to avoid this.>

    I do wonder how it will work in terrraced streets, will he have cables from every bedroom window, looped to where ever a free space was that evening ? Cars may benefit from a cable pole like the thigs at the car showroom that you drive onto to give a little flagpole.


    I suspect that as this sort of thing proliferates, there may be more bylaws enacted specifically for cables. Equally there are already some poorly sited charge points that require a lead to be routed over a footpath as it is, and even a few comic ones that are nearly  unusable
    some good and bad examples in this report
