do you have the power for L305?

L302 stopped just shy of Main St. in Brighton with a "stop" indication at EE Brighton after calling an "approach" for CH 43. They have been blocking Hyne, BLR, and maybe Rickett for over half an hour. No call to dispatch has been heard despite L305 getting permission back and forth at Howell with 8199 and 8066.
