AQUILA chief Don Bacon has at last agreed to discuss compensation for the loss of power supply in Herefordshire and Worcestershire during the October storms.
Mr Bacon is to meet Leominster MP Bill Wiggin next month to talk about some of the issues raised by his constituents.
Some of those affected by the electricity failure will also attend the meeting, to be held in the Regal Rooms, Tenbury Wells, on Friday, January 17.
"I'm relieved that the head of Aquila has finally decided to get off his high horse and meet me to discuss some of the important issues that occurred as result of the power supply losses during that weekend at the end of October," said Mr Wiggin.
"Although Don Bacon may hope that he can conveniently pass off the power supply losses as an Act of God, I think he's is going to find it extremely difficult to pass off Aquila's total lack of competence in handling the crisis in similar terms."
