Gas supplies cut off in East Barnet (From Times Series)

People have not been identified as vulnerable or provided with heaters. I have over the last day and a half repeatedly told national grid about a vulnerable older person, and despite personal assurances for the centre, the help line, the barnet council press office and Mr Harper, the deputy leader of the council she has as of 5pm on day 2 had no leaflet dropped, and still has had no heater delivered. The old and vulnerable are being marginilised ad priority it seems is going to provide the well and able bodied in getting heating over the most needy.Despite my alerting them to an elderly person in need, no action has been taken. What chance then is there for those without an advocate. What is the emergency planning? This is not rocket science, go to prontoprint, get a company to deliver the leaflets, ask the churches and other voluntary sector to deliver the heaters! Job done. How much does Mr Harper get paid to get this so wrong? It was only after I spoke to someone from the press who put this to the centre that Lo and Behold, in true magical Christmas spirit a heater and hot plate magically appeared within 30 minutes. Shame on you all. Thanks to the Barnet Press for helping me raise this issue of inequity for the voiceless..
