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,Wholesale Jerseys US, 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,Wholesale China Jerseys, 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,China Jerseys NFL, but nothing has been done to even support the pole.Based on the close observation of residents,NFL Jerseys Sale, the pole, which accommodates GPL wires as well as that of the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company, 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, 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,Cheap Stitched Jerseys, 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.
