The first of the Community Police Support meetings will take place tomorrow at the Village Hall.

The meeting will run from 7pm until 7.30pm. It's an opportunity for you to discuss with our local Police anything that is of concern to you. Whether that is feedback, security concerns or just general suggestions they are here to listen.

It's not a very long session so time is going to be limited but there is a follow up meeting on the 12th May.

Okay so I might be overstating that just a little but I wanted to get your attention.

On the 18th March there was an incident involving the sub station at Hootens Row, it would seem a garden bonfire got a bit out of control and spread to the transform cabinet. The fire brigade were in attendance but the transformer was irreparably damaged as you can see from the photograph below.

Hats off to EDF energy for their fast response, the power went out at about 3:45pm and was restored via a portable generator a few minutes before 10pm that night. Presumably we are going to have to wait a while for a new transformer and they'll need another outage to commission it but give them credit where credit is due they did a good job under the circumstances.

If anyone wants to share any more information on the incident please let me know by clicking on the MSGFORM link above.
