Broads Authority Updates

[ranworthbreeze]

Laura posted two links one regarding that Somerleyton Bridge is now operational and there was also a link to an update on the electric meter conversion, sadly there was no information on the Broads Authority website other than saying there was an update.

Please not the "here" links do not work.

There is an update for today as follows:

Update on Broads Authority Moorings Electric Meter Upgrade

After installing and programming the last few sites between now and Thursday 30 March 2017, it can be confirmed that all Broads Authority electric pillars will be open to the public for use by Friday 31 March 2017.

The new meters will be ready to work with the new contactless cards which are being made available through all usual outlets.

Can we swap the old cards for new?

Yes, at the BA offices, YS and info centres. No doubt eventually at other outlets too.

Here is a link to the Broads Authority regarding the use of the new cards:-

Hot off the press.

Somerleyton Wednesday 29 March 2017.   Article 50 day.

Looks like they are operational if the lights are anything to go by.

Unfortunately we haven't got any of the new cards to do the ultimate test!

Will have to get our old ones swapped before our next trip on 22 April.

Hi Sue,

We may see you on the river, we should be down on the 25th but we might manage to get down for a few days before.

Hopefully by then we should have some of the elusive cards.

Update:  Reedham still covered in black bin bags and still lots of no mooring signs everywhere.

Hardly Mill back and appear to be live.

Rockland Dyke greatly improved socket back and appears to be live.

Didn't go down to Loddon to check.

Official update:

 

Over the last month we have carried out essential upgrades to the meters at the points and work is now almost complete.

After installing and programming the last few sites all Broads Authority electric charging points will be open to the public for use by Friday 31 March. We apologise for any inconvenience.

New, contactless cards will be available through all the usual outlets. (Previous cards are all printed with 28 February 2017 as the cut-off date.)

The meters indicate where to hold your card in order to transfer the credit to the meter. The cards are for single use only.

SueH - did the Hardley Mill posts look like new ones? It was only during the last couple of weeks that Richard (from Hardley Mill Trust) was going to contact the BA to see if their posts could be included in the 'upgrade'. That was my understanding anyway. Hopefully it has all fallen into place.

They certainly looked like the new ones.  S

Thank you Sue - fingers crossed.
