Update from UK Power Networks via Sam S Collins

I have received the following information from UK Power Networks regarding preparations for Storm Eunice, which will arrive soon.

UPDATE

As you may be aware, UK Power Networks manages the local power lines and substations which distribute electricity to over 8.3m homes and businesses across London, the South East and the East of England.

Storm Eunice is expected to arrive on Friday 18th and is expected to bring strong winds and unsettled weather.

Our electricity network is built to be resilient but strong winds and heavy rain can bring down branches and trees, damaging overhead power lines. Where this happens we work to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.

We have organised for additional staff in our contact centre and more engineers on the ground, particularly for Storm Eunice, to be available to help customers whose electricity supply might be affected by the predicted weather.

Both you and your residents will be able to find regular updates and information about individual power cuts on our website www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk . We will also be posting general updates on .

Anyone experiencing a power cut should:

· Call 105 free of charge to speak to our customer service team, report a power cut or damage to the electricity network

· Tweet to report a power cut or to receive updates

· Visit www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk for the latest updates

We advise people to stay clear of power lines and report damaged power lines immediately by calling 105 free from either a landline or a mobile phone. If they see electricity lines that are down or causing significant risk to the public they should call 999.

We provide extra help to customers on our Priority Service Register during a power cut. Households with older or disabled people, those with children under five, or where someone uses medical or mobility equipment that requires electricity as well as other reasons can join the register. You can find out more information about our Priority Service on our website: ukpowernetworks.co.uk/priority .

Please ensure you dispose of batteries safely 🔋

This image is of a recent waste vehicle fire. It is really important that batteries are not placed in your purple bin, as they can get very hot and have the potential to spark.

Please place all household batteries in a tied plastic bag, on the lid of your grey recycling bin for collection. Alternatively, batteries can be taken to Household Waste Recycling Centre or recycled at your local supermarket.

Did you know Whirlpool is recalling some tumble dryers sold under its Hotpoint, Indesit, Creda, Swan and Proline brands?

You can check if your dryer is one of those affected by calling 0800 151 0905 or visiting Whirlpool’s website http://dryerrecall.whirlpool.co.uk

If your dryer is affected, you’ll get the choice either to have it replaced free of charge, to opt for an upgrade from £59, to have it fixed by an engineer or to choose a refund, which will be dependent on the age of your tumble dryer.

The company said consumers whose dryers have already been replaced or modified need take no further action.
