James Barber Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I've escalated this issue - assuming the North Cross Road one - to head of team that liaises with UK Power Networks. They do not have any street notices about any digging up of the road. But they've chased their contacts and I've contacted UK Power Networks directly myself asking when they'll fix it.

edhistory Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Our two UPS units were doing yo-yos for very short periods yesterday.Some sub-second power cuts and dirty electricity.Several years ago when I escalated my complaint about poor electricity supply I was told it was the fault of Southwark Council.John K Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/84264-power-cuts/#findComment-930247 Share on other sites More sharing options...
peggoula Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 We are having another power cut at the minute, third evening in a row, apparently this one because of a burst water pipe. It does happen but 3 evenings in a row is just too much. The last two were just over 3 hours so will see about this one. We are on crystal palace road.

trident Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 We are also on CPR and on a hat trick of power cuts. Running out of candles :(Totally agree, does happen (even if before September 2015 we had only had 6 in 20 years) but three nights in a row needs sorting. Can anyone see any water board people working?The September power cut was because of the north cross road water works Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/84264-power-cuts/#findComment-930328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applespider Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 If it's any comfort, if you make it to 4 times in a year with 3-hour power cuts, you can claim ?75 in compensation. I did it a few years ago after a spate of them. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/energy/energy-supply/problems-with-your-energy-supply/get-compensation-if-you-have-a-power-cut/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/84264-power-cuts/#findComment-930331 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trident Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Sod's law that I make the last 2 nights two hours 35-45mins thenThank you for highlighting that though Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/84264-power-cuts/#findComment-930335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Barber Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I've asked the chair person of the Dulwich Community council if we can invite UK Power Networks to attend our next meeting 2 December to explain what they are doing to fix the systemic failures. These numbers of repeat failures is unacceptable.I'll let you know if my request is successful.
