Investment in electrical equipment welcomed

The move has been welcomed by Sinn Féin Councillor Catherine Seeley: “My party colleague Cllr Fergal Lennon and I, have been in contact with NIE on numerous occasions in relation to the deterioration of equipment; including several of the metal electrical poles along the Lough Road and Victoria Street areas of the town.”

The Deputy Mayor continued: “I welcome the confirmation that NIE will be carrying out essential maintenance before these poles become a serious safety hazard. I note that all affected residents will be notified through the post, regarding times and dates for the work to start.”

Cllr Seeley concluded: “It is important that NIE continue to maintain and monitor their equipment, both in terms of ensuring supply to customers and ensuring safety for the general public. I look forward to the work being completed.”
