Lack of maintenance a problem

Neels writes by email:

Just something about the lack of maintenance in our municipality and our land as a whole.

A while back a huge delivery truck from one of our major hardware suppliers rammed an electricity pole and it broke off at the bottom.

It is now hanging from the cable, supported by a tree.

The angle of incline increases slowly.

I reported the matter to the supplier who said they would look into the matter.

I also reported it to the electricity department and received a reference number.

They asked if we had electrical power so I said yes, but if that pole falls down it will probably sever the cable.

This was on September 16, so it seems that to maintain and thus prevent a crisis is not on the cards.

If it falls we will probably sit without power for a day or two.

At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
