Complainant Jefferson Crabtree files update with NSEB reporting unscheduled pole installation work and escalating neighbour dispute ahead of September 8 deadline
AI summary
- Crabtree reports that after a 45-minute call with Nova Scotia Power, no installation date has been scheduled and the file is marked 'incomplete, awaiting follow up,' with the September 8, 2026 deadline approaching.
- Neighbours Jay Neil and Zoe Battis, whose property at 216 New Harbour Rd carries a 40-foot Right Of Way easement (doc. no. 123407869, registered October 2023) in favour of NSPI, are alleged to have stopped crew work on July 24, 2026 by making workers feel unsafe.
- Neil/Battis's responding letter (dated August 27, 2026) contends that an NSP representative told Neil on May 26, 2026 that NSP had no documentation or authorization to work on the property, and that this was allegedly confirmed again on August 26, 2026 — Crabtree suggests this may indicate NSP customer-facing staff require additional training on standard Form 24 easements.
- The neighbours' letter raises counter-allegations including a vehicle incident on July 24, safety concerns for an 8-year-old child on the property, potential reputational harm, and threatens a $300/hour flat rate for any further non-legal contact — Crabtree has provided the letter to RCMP.
- Crabtree requests that NSP crews and security attend to complete the installation before the September 8, 2026 regulatory deadline.
