The Be Winter Ready campaign has been launched by the UK’s gas and electricity networks. Since 1990, the networks have invested over £80bn to make the UK’s gas and electricity supply more reliable than ever before. However, storms, floods and other extreme conditions can sometimes cause significant damage and disruption.
To Be Winter Ready, the public are being urged to: • Know your free emergency numbers - in a power cut dial 105 or, for a gas emergency, dial 0800 111999. • Prepare your home – keep a torch handy and get your appliances serviced by a Gas Safe registered engineer to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Vulnerable households can get extra support by signing up to the Priority Services Register. Contact your gas or electricity network to find out more. Visit www.energynetworks.org to find out who your network operator is. • Keep your eyes open – keep an eye on the weather forecast and, if you have a power cut or a gas emergency, check on your neighbours. More information about the campaign can be found at www.energynetworks.org/news/public-information/be-winter-ready.html plus a toolkit of assets to communicate this information has been produced, including social media posts, a poster and leaflet be_winter_ready_toolkit.pptx VELO CYCLE EVENT
On September 24th, the Velo mass participation cycle ride will pass through the edge of Great Witley and as a result the Stourport and Worcester roads will be closed for a large part of the day. Your Parish Council along with others and many private individuals have protested about these closures because of the restrictions they impose on the opportunity to travel out of the area – indeed some people are unable to leave their homes for most of the day. We understand that CSM, the organisers, would like to make this cycle ride an annual event. The County Council say that they are not yet committed to allowing this to take place again and will consider the effects this year’s event has on local communities. Accordingly, our Parish Council will endeavour to collect evidence of inconvenience, disruption or loss brought about by this year’s event and pass it on to the County Council. The County Council are unlikely to be swayed by grumbles and complaints but may have to re-think if there is real evidence of disruption, inconvenience or loss. If you or your family suffer in this way PLEASE PROVIDE DETAILS of time, place and a summary of the problem to the Clerk to the Council at: [email protected] or 07498 778023 / Mrs J Evans, Rochford Court, Rochford, Tenbury Wells, Worcs, WR15 8SL |
