REDROW DEVELOPMENTS LTD RESPONDS TO MEDIA REPORTS ON ILLEGAL CONNECTIONS
25th May, 2015: The attention of the management of Redrow Developments Ltd has been drawn to reports on certain media platforms regarding illegal connections in one of our estates. We hereby, want to clarify the issues for the benefit of our clients and stakeholders
1. We would like to state that the assertion and reports that the entire Redrow Estates has been disconnected is not true.
2. Further, electricity supply to our client, Yvonne Nelson, who is a resident and the focus of the media stories, has not been disconnected, as reported. We would like to further add that her property is properly metered, and therefore has legal electricity connection.
3. As a company, we do not condone the illegal use of electricity. Redrow Developments sub-contracted the connection and installation of electricity to our estates to an electrical firm. Unfortunately the contractor misinformed management on (1) status of availability of meters from ECG, and (2) their (ECG) processes for connection of electricity as a temporary measure.
4. Upon an inspection by officials of ECG to our estate, they drew our attention to the illegal connections of 12 houses, and further issued penalties, part of which has been paid. Earnest arrangements are underway, with the great support of ECG to install meters for the affected houses.
5. We would like to thank our clients for their patience and the ECG for their co-operation.
