Dear Editor,
In an article published Friday October 9, 2026 in Kiskadee Watch titled “Meadowbrook Gardens residents demand suspension of GPL’s transmission line work”, this group of residents has expressed a concern which we the residents of Lodge housing scheme, share. The group making an appeal to GPL is clearly knowledgeable and we thank them for their expressed concern. For decades the reality is, Meadowbrook, Lodge housing scheme and D’Urban backlands constitute a single physical area. Recently, blackouts even though of shorter durations, left us to face blinking lights, due to “low voltage”.
I therefore wish to compliment the group for speaking up and hope that our power brokers – no pun intended- would listen and take appropriate action.
