Campden Street in London. See SWNS story SWMRroadworks. BT has been fined more than ?21,000 over unsafe working conditions at roadworks the firm dug in an upmarket London street. The telecoms giant were carrying out work in posh Kensington, west London, last October that were deemed to break road safety rules because a hole and trench were left in the path. Council officers visiting the site on October 5, 2022, found BT workers had left the area - and a gaping open hole was still in the wrecked footpath. The firm was told to come back two hours later to make the area safe, but did not do so, Kensington and Chelsea Council said.
