Other Matters.
Interruption of Power Supplies.
These are an inconvenience for everyone and whilst we can all take certain steps to mitigate the effects of them those primarily at risk are the elderly, and in particular people living alone.
We are a relatively small and caring community and it is hoped that any potentially vulnerable individuals would have nearby family, friends or neighbours who would come to their assistance. If you are one of these individuals but have no such help, or perhaps more importantly, you know of someone who might require some assistance, perhaps you could offer help. A useful point of contact could also be your Community Council Members who are fully listed on this site. Constable David Paterson has also kindly confirmed that the police would be happy to help anyone needing urgent assistance, Tel: 01866 822222 or 01631 510500.
