ASIAN HORNETS

There have been sightings of the Asian Hornet in Kent since 2023. They cause devastation to British Bees, destroy crops and fruit for farming and are more likely to cause dangerous side effects for people if stung than our native wasps. Please see the attached poster. There is an information page on Ashford Borough Council website at Find out about how to deal with Asian Hornets and to report any sightings: https://www.ashford.gov.uk/environmental-concerns/pest-control/asian-hornets/

STORM CIARAN - 2ND NOVEMBER 2023

UK Power Networks have sent the following information so that residents can get up-to-date information and are able to report any problems with electricity supply:

Both you and your constituents 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 @UKPowerNetworks .

Anyone experiencing a power cut should:
• Visit www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk to view our live power cut map, with details of individual power cuts or to report a power cut
• Call 105 free of charge to report damage to the network or speak with our customer service team
• Tweet @UKPowerNetworks to report a power cut or to receive 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 people of pensionable age, those with a health condition, have children under five living with them, or someone in the household who uses medical or mobility equipment that requires electricity, as well as those who may be in vulnerable circumstances during a power cut, can join the register. You can find out more information about our Priority Service on our website: ukpowernetworks.co.uk/priority .

If you would like to share information with your residents about preparing for the storm or registering for the Priority Service Register, you might like to share the following on Twitter or to your local Facebook pages:

As a result of #StormCiarán, heavy rain and high winds are due to arrive on Thurs 2 November. @UKPowerNetworks has extra field engineers and call centre staff on hand to support any customers affected.
