Rubbish. Fire everyone involved, from the top down. No severance pay.
2 guys and a cherry picker, 1 hour. New lamp with pole arm, $500. Utility company shuts the power down if the old lamp doesn’t have a switch.
Basically the same setup we have on our pole. The power company sent 2 guys in a truck and they had it changed in 10 minutes including a new switch which was the root cause of the problem. We got billed, as it’s our light (purchased from the power company)..
Cost? $70.00 including new bulb and switch.
I would check to see if one of the council has ties with the people who are doing the work…
Just a thought…
