[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 231132, member: 1607"] You are correct, the DNO will neither supply nor fit the meter box, they typically give a specification of minimum dimension enclosure they require to put their equipment in, but the enclosure belongs to the property owner and is their responsibility to maintain. Say if the door had been vandalised and damaged the DNO will do nothing as it is not actually their enclosure. Obviously there are different sized enclosures and meter equipment and cut-outs are in various sizes. If as Sidewinder said they come to do some routine upgrade or maintenance work and consider the required space is not available I suspect they would invoice for a wasted visit then instruct the property owner to make room in the enclosure then book another appointment for the original work. I doubt it would be worth anyones effort to undertake any legal proceedings over such an issue. I would be interested to hear if anyone has first hand experience of an actual case of DNO taking action regarding meter box space? Doc H. [/QUOTE]
