Pond Island – TelEm Group technicians will be carrying out emergency repairs to an underground feeder cable close to the Grande Marche roundabout Thursday morning.
The repairs will be made to faulty cable which has been causing telecommunication problems and outages to businesses in the area in recent weeks.
The repairs will be carried out from 6:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon, Thursday morning. As a result, businesses located in the Grand Marche shopping complex and also at the Photo Gumbs building close by, will have telecommunication services interrupted intermittently.
TelEm Group has apologized to members of the public and businesses in the area for any inconvenience caused.
"We have no option but to do this work right away because the cable is exposed and will suffer further damage if it is not handled right away," said TelEm Group’s Outside Plant Manager, Mr. Anthony Carty.
"All efforts are being made to cause the least impact possible," said Mr. Carty.
He said efforts were also being made late yesterday to inform businesses in the complex and members of the public about the emergency work that will be taking place at short notice.
