Frontage marking JUF or JUP

[JufFinder]

Following a few visits by OpenReach vans to the local area, neighbour's house has acquired a JUF, or might be JUP, marking on the road tarmac adjacent to its council frontage between white lines about 2 feet apart.

Certainly looks like a BT thing.

Can anyone confirm what this might be ? The arrival of fibre perhaps ? Do we get to find out what disturbance there might be ?

Thanks

JUF is the Acronym for a Joint Footway Box. They come in various sizes and types depending on where they’re going.

They house a variety of different types of equipment, both Copper and Fibre and sometimes just cables.

JUP in Openreach language means, Joint User Pole, aka a DNO Pole, aka an Electric Pole. Openreach don’t install them, they merely piggy back off them with the permission of whichever DNO operates in that area.

Therefore I’d imagine it will be a Joint Footway Box but what they intend to use it for is anyone’s guess.
