Straighten it up, glue it to the render, paint it to match the render.

Looks like an earthing wire for the gas meter contact a sparks there must be a better way to do it, mine just runs through the wall and under the floor like most!

You might be able to do away with it completely, if you can work out its actual purpose. It obviously runs to/from what ever is in the meter cupboard, but is that an electric, or gas meter? Trace where it goes to, at the upper end of the wire, and what that end connects to.

yes its a gas meter and connects to the meter looks like its all connected to the fire alarm system. The wire cannot be earthed on other side due to obstacles and i believe thats why the sparky has run it along the top and then down by the trellis, which is now gone.

It shouldn't be connected to a fire alarm system, it should be bonded to your main earth, at your consumer unit.

You can conceal it with mini-trunking, which you can paint to match the house.

Paint before fixing to avoid unsightly marks.

Relocate behind the downpipe on the wall just around the corner to the right.

The D-Line mini-trunking is easier on the eye compared to regular mini-trunking.

Maybe. Easy for a DIYer though.
