Why this petition matters

Started by Gill Johnson

Living in a rural area with overhead power cables we often suffer power cuts during storms. In the last 2 weeks we have suffered not just power cuts but 2 major fires due to the dry conditions following the hot weather, both allegedly started due to the overhead electric  cables. This is now not just an outdated system but a safety issue with risk to life. The ring circuit we are on in Buckden, affects the Brampton area too. Please sign the petition.
