Monday 12th April 2021

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are well and had an enjoyable week.

Today marks another important date in the UK’s easing of lockdown measures. I’m sure that this will be met with a mixture of excitement and apprehension by all. Whatever your plans in the coming weeks, I hope that you all keep safe and enjoy having some more freedom to meet friends and loved ones. I will be visiting my local pub after work this evening to have a long-awaited ‘cold one’, let’s hope that the snow holds off!

I also wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the sad news of HRH Prince Philip’s passing last Friday. He was an inspirational member of the Royal Family for many and his legacy will live on for generations to come.

I hope you enjoy today’s newsletter.

“Power cuts don’t happen very often but if the electricity network is damaged or develops a fault it’s our job to get your power back on. Our engineers work around the clock 24/7 to restore your power as quickly as is safely possible. If you live in London, the East or South East of England, then being on our Priority Services Register will ensure you will receive extra support if you experience a power cut”

Support during a power cut:
– A priority number that you can call 24 hours a day
– Text and voice message alerts, letting you know when we are aware of a large power cut in your area
– Tailored support if needed such as home visits, hot meals, advice and keeping your friends and relatives updated
– Where possible we will send you text and voice messages when we expect severe weather to help you prepare
– In certain scenarios, we may also offer a free hotel overnight and transport to the hotel
