Another unsafe cabinet sorted – or is it?

This week, we noticed a cable cabinet hanging open right in the centre of Headingley, on the corner of Alma Cottages. This is a busy area – thousands of people pass by every day, including school children catching the busĀ opposite Sainsbury’s, so it’s a really bad idea to have exposed wires hanging out here where anyone could touch them. Penny Goodman reported the issue to Virgin Media, who own the cabinet, and we’re glad to report it was closed up on Friday afternoon.

Update: walking past this cabinet this afternoon, we noticed that it was open again. So it may in fact have been closed by a concerned member of the public yesterday, rather than Virgin Media. We have sent them a chasing email, asking them to attend to the matter urgently.

Further update: our chasing email worked! Virgin Media replied promptly on Monday morning, and the cabinet has now been secured.
