A Sandbach resident is celebrating after he won a 'mini victory' by getting an eyesore opposite his Sandbach home improved for the whole neighbourhood.

Hairdresser, Marc Coleman, planted around 30 conifers near a power substation opposite his house in Station Road, Elworth. 

Marc, who runs Jon Marc Hairdressing in London Road, arrived home from work one night to find the conifers had been removed. 

An SP Energy Networks said the conifers had to be removed as there as "strict rules around what can be located close to substations.

They said previously: "The conifers planted at our substation in Sandbach obscured the 'Danger of Death' signage on the substation and created a potential climbing aid so they had to be removed." 

Now SP Energy Networks has come up with a compromise - plush new high fencing which masks the metal casing around the substation.
