Residents of Phoenix Park, West Bank Demerara, have been living in fear that an unstable utility pole will collapse before gaining the needful attention of contractors attached to the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL).The pole is shifted off of its baseThe utility pole in question is one located a stone’s throw from the Best/Klein/Pouderoyen Neighbourhood Democratic Council.Although from a distance it is clear that the already leaning pole is split at the bottom, up close, it is evident that it is not only damaged but has shifted completely off of its base. One resident told this publication that while it was apparent for some time that the pole was rotten, it was only about three weeks ago that it was observed to have slipped from its base.Residents said that the state of affairs was reported to GPL a few weeks ago,Off White Nike Vapormax 2018, but nothing has been done to even support the pole.Based on the close observation of residents,Air Max 97 Womens, the pole,Cheap Nike Air Max 97 Shoes, which accommodates GPL wires as well as that of the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company,Nike Air Max 95 For Sale, is only able to remain standing because of the solid mud surface in which it is positioned.However, persistent rainfall of recent has been cause for much concern, since residents are worried that the mud will soften resulting in the pole falling across the nearby thoroughfare. This they believe could possibly even create an even more daunting state of affairs,Nike Air Vapor Max Flyknit Men, one they believe could be avoided altogether if the Power Company responds to their plea.The only evident indication of acknowledgement by GPL was the move to mark the leaning pole with a letter (x) within a circle,Air Max 1 Atmos For Sale, all in red.A call to GPL’s Emergency Response Unit yesterday was accepted by a female employee who explained that even if the matter was reported to that Unit it would not be addressed at that level. According to her it is instead the role of the Maintenance Unit to deal with issues of damaged poles. She was unable to offer information as to when the leaning pole will be catered to. |
