@_heatgeek There seems to be a fundamental problem in your customer service at present. Your minimum disrupt option has been badly managed, poor or non-existent communications. I tried up upgrade to the full Black label version - silence. No emails replied to, nothing. Help!

@OVOEnergy There are over 20 households on the Isle of Mull who are either waiting for a smart meter to be installed or have been told they cannot get one from you. What are your customer supposed to do when Economy 7 and 10 gets switched off next year, change to @OctopusEnergy ?

Hats off to @OctopusEnergy for taking up the challenge of installing smart meters on the Isle of Mull - superb turnaround. A third of the way through - don't stop now. More installs worked as most were the England ones using 2G/3G not the @arqiva versions.

So @OVOEnergy if @OctopusEnergy can install smart meters on the Isle of Mull why can't you? There is a long list of customers who have been given the run around for many months or years.

@SmartEnergyGB There is a huge backlog of households wanting smart meters on the Isle of Mull. Renewable energy projects stalled due to inability of @SmartDCC to install a comms network. A licenced monopoly gone badly wrong.

@SmartDCC @arqiva @ofgem One site where there are 4 new build houses on Mull all had SMETS2 meters installed with a view to being able to add renewables later. Not one could work. Locals are unable to benefit from lower energy costs due to failure to get the network working.

@SmartDCC Why is it on the Isle of Mull it is so hard to get a smart meter and then when there is one installed it cannot communicate? Householders are just told that they cannot get a smart meter as there are no comms for them.

Hi @arqiva, @ofgem why is it near impossible to get a smart meter to connect on the Isle of Mull? The lack of your service is preventing installing renewables and reducing energy costs. Please fix it.

@arqiva why is it so hard for a smart meter to use your network on the Isle of Mull? @ofgem need to act. @BrendanOHaraMP this is holding back lowering cost of energy for residents on the island.

@g__j There is a real block to renewable energy adoption in Scotland. Greg Jackson has mentioned this. The problem people are facing is getting smart meters installed. @OctopusEnergy are the worst offenders in being unable to install. Many people waiting a year or more.

Hey @OctopusEnergy there is a problem getting meters installed for residents on the Isle of Mull. You keep on delaying, it's been going on for months, sometimes over a year. Some people have no power waiting for their meter to be installed. What is the problem?

Hey @OctopusEnergy, you seem unable to install a meter to connect up a building. Without the meter we have no electricity. It has been nearly a year waiting, cancelled engineer visits and now being told not until the end of this year. This is crazy!

Outside Sainsbury’s on corner of Brixton Water Lane and Josephine Avenue. SW2.
Hi there, thanks for highlighting this to us, we will provide feedback to our engineering team regarding this. If you happen to have any further details such as the location/postcode of where this occurred, please get in touch with our team via DM. Kind regards, Nathan.

@CommunityFibre Looks like your engineers are not really community minded at all. There is ample free parking within a few metres but no, easier to block the pavement for everyone.

Hi @thameswater the last time you left it for 3 days before fixing it cost you over £6 million. #hernehill has suffered enough from @thameswater floods.
Thanks I've had a look at the video, the engineers will come within that time frame which means anytime from now up to that day, I've also put in the notes it's a really fast flow - Jason nitter.cf/messages/compose?recip…

But they are closing the bus stops!
Given that rather a lot of North Lambeth would be under water it makes it a new LTN - Low Tide Neighbourhood, accessible only at low tide.

@WorldBollard Spring must be on the way as a young "Bollardus Interrupti" pops its head up above the soil. Soon it will grow and be ready to plant out on a side road. After a year or two of strong growth maybe it will end up on the high street or even a square!

@Spacehive Could you follow me so I can DM you. Thanks.
Air quality affects everybody and any level of exposure can be harmful, but some are affected more. We need strong Government commitment to @WHO #AirQuality guidelines now to protect our health, our children & our communities. @pow_rebecca #VoteCleanAir bit.ly/2XXKSI4

Lambeth have installed road counters across the roads so it will be interesting to see what their figures are. I think we wanted to record more detail about the type of road user, not just overall numbers. We also wanted to be independent of the council. nitter.cf/OllyHatch/status/13258…
Replying to @ggatlarge
Are there any @lambeth_council funds as part of #LTN plans to monitor them post installation? What about working with @clairekholland, @helenhayes_ & @LambethMPS to do an attitudinal study to see how people feel about the changes. Do they feel safer, is crime down, healthier?
