Waiting for the pole to fall

THE EDITOR: There is a rotten TTEC electricity pole situated on the premises of No 17 Pluscarden Gardens, Cocoyea which can fall at any time. The wooden pole is so rotten at the base, that one can see through to the other side. Several reports were made to TTEC, even the Councillor Mr Lynch came but up to now nothing has been done. One wonders if TTEC is awaiting the fall of the pole before coming to replace it. If the pole falls, several residences would be affected, houses can be burnt, children as well as dogs, etc can be electrocuted with the live wires on the ground, household appliances can be damaged and many houses will be out of electricity for days. Is this what TTEC is awaiting?

I am appealing to the relevant authority to come and check the pole and replace it quickly before a disaster happens.
