 hello everybody this is the start of a public interest video and I just want to show you the inside of this particular outdoor meter box now we've all seen these little keys that go into these very insecure locks yep you've probably all got one and for any of you that have one of these I would check inside you see this is the main power coming in and this is a security closed fuse system and here is the meter everything after the meter is the households concern so this is the electricity company this is the electricity company this is the household concern now the problem with this here being here is if I were to switch that off that turns off all the power into the dwelling any security system you may have useless the fridge freezer it's going to go off if you've got door ring bell cameras anything like that if you go away for a couple of weeks and you want to check up inside your home get it it can all just be switched off from here very publicly accessed very easily accessed and the only reason that that's there is because between the councils and the people who allow these buildings to rebuild they've decided that it saves a few quid with these wires their argument is if something were to happen we don't want to be responsible for these wires so we're quite happy to put this here because that means anything after this now this and these wires is now the dwellings responsibility rather than just run these tails up into the dwelling and then fit one of these inside where quite a few of you will have these inside still but there's going to be many of you that don't and like I say all you got to do is have somebody know you've gone away for a couple of weeks on hold they were in for a week they can just come along if nothing else just flick it off and now you're everything in your fridge freezers last your timers have to be redone if you've got cameras so you can keep an eye on there maybe you got some Alexa devices echoes whatever you're not going to be able to see through them and worse than that of course then they can break into your place because even if you've got an alarm system switching that off will render it useless I just thought I'll let you know because there's plenty about yet how plenty of people out there are in this vulnerable situation and it's just to save a few quid on money your security doesn't matter a few pound on money does I think it's something that should be pointed out and if there are other ones like that I think they should be adjusted but it's just who does it yeah I mean there's a break a fuse there before the meter so if you need to work on the meter you can be safe absolutely understandable yeah of course and up to the meter but after the meter that is for this building isn't it to be taken care of be a landlord if it's privately it's for this right I knew that and that's good that's good well I mean it's a dodge group is supposed to take care of this building electrically and now the ones who are arguing it and all I want really is something to say no to just agree with me that everything after the meter is is the responsibility of the person who owns the building agreed it is because say for example say for example you didn't have swarmyers and you wanted one and he said no would that be up to him no rules that obviously benefit
