Having spoken to my MP Andrew Bowie after Storm Arwen, he in turn has written and spoken to BT and.... I am very pleased to say that he received a commitment that the switch from analogue to digital phones will be paused whilst failsafe measures are put in place.

I will be speaking to Andrew tomorrow because we need a review of Ofcom guidelines and involvement with Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport.

(Sorry about the silence - we had a catastrophic fire and gas tank explosion in the hotel 2 doors away almost 2 weeks ago and it has put me behind with EVERYTHING - including this!)
