Power pole No WY 240-40-1 on Plantagenet location 2986 is completely rotted through at ground level and is held in place by two steel stakes and the conductor. It is dangerous. A registered letter to Western Power reported the condition of this pole in mid September. Three days later, linesmen inspected the pole and agreed that it needed replacing. To date, no further progress has been made. The grass is drying off as summer is rapidly approaching. On what date is Western Power planning to replace this pole? Hon NICK GRIFFITHS
