“Enemalta yesterday operated with smooth efficiency, turning up at a woman’s door a mere few minutes after she phoned to inform them of a cheque which was mistakenly posted to her address.” (November 14).

The 63-year-old owned up after Enemalta mistakenly sent her a cheque for €6,254.

Enemalta should likewise resort to the same efficiency when local councils or resi-dents lodge complaints with the corporation that there are spent bulbs in the streets within their locality.

While it is reported that Enemalta turned up at the woman’s door “a mere few minutes after she phoned”, there are instances of residents who are being left without properly functioning street lights not for days or weeks but for months notwithstanding reports and reminders to that effect.
