    Its rare that I can find anyone in a block of 6 flats in my normal working ours.Flat dwellers are usually all out. Why would a meter reader have a key ?, did nt you have one so you could do the sensible thing once in a while, say 6 monthly, and comply with what UW requested and supply the true energy use instead of an estimated guess. Its no good saying the supplier is aware of the size of the flat, thats not their job.The meter was there all the time for you to use, the meter itself tells UW what you ve used..Best of luck with your complaint, I think you may need it
    How does the postie and other delivery companies get in?

    Postman comes daily so may have keys or codes or there are letterboxes. Parcels just wont get delivered mostly, and will just post a collection card. Even if someone happens to be in they probably dont have meter cupboard keys. Many tenants just never are given a meter cupboard key to begin with. Nearly all my flats are the same, its rare to get one where its straight forward. UW only read at six monthly intervals and will just visit once, so they will all go to the 2 year mark and well beyond.
