That wood pole for some reason is only one of two left in
the area, all our power is underground now, and all the other
street lights are metal poles with wiring up the middle, have
been for a few years before my wife and I moved into the
area.

There is a crew going around at present putting concrete
slabs with warnings on the top "GAS MAINS" and
"ELECTRICITY" on others, digging trenches above both
lines, laying the concrete slabs and filling over. People
across the street just moved into their new house only
to have the nice lawn and driveway ripped up :o)

The crew have done a good job on putting new slabs
in for the driveway but the lawns going to take until
next summer to recover.

Cheers
