There is a small inherent risk of danger to consumers (resulting from the
possible disconnection of the supply neutral conductor under fault
conditions) with all PME networks (see comments for regulation 7(1)),
however it is DTI=3Fs view that the risks are acceptable provided that:
(i) distributors comply with the requirements for multiple earthing
(regulation 9(2))

Oh ho-ho. There's a single thick wire running down the pole bolted to what
I assume (hope) is a buried metal thingy.

and take precautions to ensure continuity of the supply neutral conductor
(regulation 7(1));

Well if it breaks (as it does on a regular basis) it pulls the line wire
inside it down as well so I suppose that's safe-ish.
