The Fibrecity company are coming around all the streets in Bournemouth, laying the cables for what will be in the future ultra-fast broadband service. They cause nuisance on the roads but only in any one place for a very short time. Here we see their orange barriers cordoning the pavement of Gillam Road, which they did today. The scar in the tarmac once they have finished is ultra-thin - no more than a couple of inches wide - as can be seen in the foreground bit of pavement.
