No it won't , the use of creosote stopped years ago .
For home use, yes, but I think it's still available for professional use.

Alternatively build a treehouse about 6ft up.
I'd bet if you put a treehouse on it and then sent them pictures on Twitter you'd definitely get some sort of response!

You get paid for most wayleaves on overheads. Not much tho.
Yeh - it's a small amount - not enough to justify the inconvenience of leaving the pole there (and leaving access to it).

We are currently landscaping and are just about getting to that area......I want the pole gone so it doesn't hinder our work.

They removed the pole and sited it back where the original one was outside of our boundary.

They also tidied up the mess they had left.
