Lakewood Officials Blame JCP&L for Lack Of Planing and Manpower

Lakewood township committee calls out JCP&L for not having enough manpower and not planning ahead for the storm. The mayor said that when there's a forecast of a snow storm they dont wait for 8 feet on the ground before calling in the plows. Township offered to have a tree cutting crew at every location of downed trees but the utility company did not have enough linemen to dispatch. Despite millions of dollars in upgrades the utility does not have  enough manpower. Committeeman Ackerman said JCP&L is not under our control. The committee intends to let the BPU and jcpl know of their frustrations and hope to have it fixed one day.

    This is comical if these officials had any brains they would keep their mouths shut. They blew it on Coronavirus despite warnings that were brought up at the township meeting 3 weeks before lakewood was hit. There was no planing ahead for the deadly virus. Not a good idea either to bring up snow storms when lakewood residents still have memories of terrible mismanagment and a bad record of snow clean up. Its election season so anything goes.

    Mayor Coles,
    Where was your planing to trim away tree limbs from the power lines after hurricane Sandy. You had 10 years to prepare. Do you ever accept responsibility you should know better about blaming others.

    If I remember correctly Lakewood waited 3 days after the Snowstorm until they began clearing the snow ..westgate was shut in for 3 days when all it would have taken is one snow plow to clear Westgate in less than a few hours

    That’s because WG doesn’t allow shuls to be built anyway.
