The damaged cabinet in Sucker Garden Road.
TelEm Group’s Technical Department is reporting service interruptions in the Sucker Garden and adjoining areas due to a damaged telephone cabinet.
The cabinet is located close to the Flanders property in the center of Sucker Garden Road.
According to Manager, Outside Plant, Mr. Anthony Carty, the cabinet was extensively damaged after a vehicle crashed into it Sunday Monday morning.
The cabinet serves customers in Sucker Garden Road, parts of the Keys and also Arch Road.
"We are attempting to restore the cabinet as quickly as we can but due to circumstances beyond our control it may take longer than normal to replace the cabinet and reconnect customer numbers," said Mr. Carty.
Mr. Carty says company technicians are busy with the repairs and have started the process of restoring the damaged telephone lines.
Included in the actions that have to be taken, will be compensation from third parties for the cost of replacing the damaged equipment and also possibly the loss of business to TelEm Group.
