Register for Priority Services to get benifits during power cuts

 

It’s that time of year when power cuts occur and they can be particularly distressing and difficult, especially if they last for a long period of time. Scottish and Southern Electricity are offering extra help and support to those who need it most and all you have to do is register with them.

The Parish Council has put  a Resilience programme in place for the village to take affect in the event of an identified emergency and has agreed to distribute one of their leaflets which enable you to register for their priority services. Anyone requiring help to fill out the form should simply contact one of the Parish Councillors listed on this website. You can also register by phoning Scottish & Southern directly on 0800 294 3259.

You can join the Scottish & Southern Register if you, or someone in your household:

  • Has a disability
  • Has a chronic illness
  • Is of pensionable age
  • Is blind or partially sighted
  • Is deaf or hard of hearing
  • Has another type of special need
  • Has had a change is personal circumstances (e.g a bereavement or divorce)
