The men took a piece of land and put up poles. It’s in the public interest, the authority argues.
The man from Turnov was left crying his eyes out. The town had placed two electricity poles on his land where he grew sea buckthorn. According to the authorities, it was in the public interest. A man in Turnov lost part of his land because of the erection of two electricity poles. The local municipality established an easement and expropriated the land. The town administration defended its actions by claiming that it was in the public interest. However, the owner has a different opinion. He did not want any poles on the area and the authority erected them there against his will.
