North West Electricity Illegal entry to land
by Deborah 25 Dec 2012 19:37
We recently had a situation where Northwest Electricity needed access to enter our land to replace a telephone pole.
Instead of contacting us to arrange a date and time when it was convenient to allow them access to our secure site - the contractor took it upon himself to force entry to the land by removing the padlock and chain and proceeded with the work!
When we complained we were told that the contractor "had no reason to believe that access had been denied." So apparently a chained and padlocked gate does in no way imply that access is denied. Hmmmmm.......
North West Electricity condone their contractors forcing entry when they want to access land. I wonder if they would have done the same if they needed to gain entry to our house?!
Has any other land owner been on the receiving end of this arrogant type of behaviour from utility comapnies?
