24th Feb update:
Update on new transformer installation project at Martham Primary Substation – Work starts in February 2025.
Tomorrow we were planning on our Transformer arriving at Martham and I can advise that this will now NOT go ahead as planned. Unfortunately, we have encountered a number of issues in having the unit released from Southampton Port.
Currently, our plan is to now have this delivered on Wednesday 26 February (time tbc), however, this is still subject to it being released by the Port Authorities
We will be speaking to those residents close by and will provide you an update as information becomes available. Any update you could give via your own social media channels would be much appreciated.
My apologies for any inconvenience caused and if thereare any concerns from any residents, please do directtowards myself
