Safety of meters far from certain

To the Editor,

Re: Smart meter installation blocked, Jan. 19.

I will hold out as long as I can on the smart meter issue. I need more information on what is right and what is wrong.

I recently watched a smart meter being installed, and as the installer was hooking the meter up, he put on special gloves and dropped the coloured shield on his helmet.

Now what conclusion would you come to – protect himself from what? Mine was it is not safe. Even to hook it up they wear special gear to protect themselves.

I am sorry, but these so-called smart meters are not so smart, as far as I am concerned.

The public should ask more questions before allowing them to change their meters, it is your right.
