He was also told however that where ESB attendance is required, the length of time may be extended beyond that.

It was also pointed out that due to recent storm events there was limited access to the ESB for these works. KCC’s maintenance contractor has been asked to increase the number of electricians available so that the repair turnaround timelines can be reduced.
