Reporting a Highway fault

There are so many blocked drains and other issues that need reporting at the moment.
Below is the link that will take you straight to the KCC highways fault reporting page.
If you log a fault you will be given a fault number so that you can track what is being done about it.
If you opt to report it by putting the location on the map (the easiest way with rural lanes) you will see if someone has reported it before you.
Or telephone the call centre

Power Outages - People who need additional support

UK Power Networks is the company that owns and maintains electricity cables and lines across London, the South East and East of England making sure your lights stay on. They maintain and upgrade power equipment and move and connect new electricity cables.

They understand that some people may need extra support during a power cut. They recommend that people add their details to their Priority Services Register. Although, this doesn’t necessarily mean they can get power back on more quickly, it does mean they can offer additional help and support.

By joining the register, customers will receive:
• A priority phone number that can be called 24 hours a day
• A welcome pack with useful advice about preparing for a power cut
• Regular text message or phone updates during a power cut
• Extra support from the British Red Cross

You can call them free on 0800 31 63 105 or sign up online here: http://www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk/priority

Can you help!

Seal Scouts, Cubs and Beavers urgently need leaders and helpers to continue.

• 105 is just one of the ways that customers can contact their electricity network operator. They can also contact them by phone or via their website, and most network operators are on social media too.
• 105 is a free service for people in England, Scotland and Wales.
• Customers can call 105 no matter who they choose to buy electricity from.
• Customers can also call 105 if they spot damage to electricity power lines and substations that could put anyone in danger. If there’s a serious immediate risk, they should call the emergency services too.
