Dear Whiddon Easton Park Residents, Families & Friends,

Please be advised that some homes at Glenfield (Easton Park) are currently being affected by a Power Outage, due to provider upgrades in the area.

Residential homes are currently using backup generators to ensure we can maintain full operation, however, this outage is also affecting our Call Centre telecommunications for both inbound and outbound calls.

Please rest assured that we are in close communication with the provider, and we hope that the connection will be restored shortly.

We will update you as soon as we have further details. Thank you for your patience.
