Power failure - who is connected?

Postby mary » Wed Mar 27, 2013 1:11 pm

I have heard it said in the media this morning that everyone in the Campbeltown area is now connected. That is not true. We are not connected and we are now in our 6th day of no power with no information as to when we will be connected - and no-one to ask it would appear. We are outside the town on the Kilkerran road line and nothing appears to be being done to connect us. If anyone out there has any information please post it.

Mary - here is the message they sent back - good luck :-)

Engineers are working in the area and are confident power will be restored in this area by 6pm.

It seems there are still certain areas within the town who remain without power - on the north side of Millknowe we have had electricity since monday night, but I discovered today that the south side still has nothing. I contacted the facebook page to get information for family due to go to Southend tomorrow and received a very prompt reply. There is also an SSE van at the Co-op where you can get the latest information - Southend is "wobbly" apparently :)
Sincerely hope Mary and all the others get connected again soon x

Yes, echo that too. Only back on last night and my prayers are with thoses who still don't have any power. Council were handing out flyers yesterday with updates but don't know if there is a new one today. Fingers crossed you get back on soon!

Yes, we are on at last! Thanks to all, I know it wasn't easy to get us all back on, well done and thanks to SSE. This has been a lesson to us all perhaps - we need to have more resilience in the face of predicted more frequent extreme weather events! Hope everyone else is connected.
