Pattaya, utility and telecommunications workers joined to clean up messy overhead wires in Naklua.
Deputy Mayor Wuthisak Rermkijakarn led the task force of employees from telephone, internet and cable-television companies, the Provincial Electricity Authority and National Broadcasting and Telecommunication Commission to the Lan Pho Market area Oct. 26.
The effort came after a utility pole fell over there amid complaints about overloaded poles and unruly wires.
Dead wires were removed and others tidied over a 200-meter stretch from Naklua Soi 7 to the 7-Eleven opposite the market.
Wuthisak said the old, thin utility poles would soon be replaced with sturdier models.
