6600 Still Without Electricty - 4th Dec 2021 4:12am
6600 people have not had electricity for 8 days and its predicted that it may be more than another 6 days before it is fully restored.
By now every substation should have had emergency generators tapped in, we did that in countries we invaded but we can't do it at home.
Up until Friday some vulnerable elderly people had still not had an official visit checking on their welfare.
At the very least there should have been offers to move people to community centres with some sort of heating and facilities within the first 24 hours at this time of year, not food parcels delivered by the army 8 days after the event.
Offering compensation of £140 a day does nothing for those stuck at home without heating, without hot water, without cooking facilities, without telephones and without emergency support.
What the heck is this country coming to! This is a total failure of society that we berate other countries for doing.
