rotting electrical pole that is leaning on her fence.
Aside from the danger it poses, she is even more concerned that Guyana Power and Light (GPL) has failed to respond to pleas to have the pole removed.

She said that recent heavy rains have weakened the pole further. She believes that only the presence of her fence is preventing it from falling.
The woman’s husband said he contacted a GPL official yesterday, who promised to “look it after.” However, no one came.
“The post rotting and just bracing by the fence,” Mrs. Bryan said yesterday.
“That is the main post that giving us light. It dangerous.”
