No one wants a power cut, especially at a time of national emergency such as we have just experienced.
When a large tree fell across Point View Drive near the intersection with Mason’s Road during the recent storm, a crew from Vector worked in appalling conditions all day to clear the site, restore power and re-open the road.
Neighbours who witnessed the efforts of linesmen and others during this dangerous work spoke of their admiration and appreciation at a recent Point View Heritage Society committee meeting.
It’s very easy to feel that any power outage is too long, but those who do the work in such conditions deserve our thanks.
