Northumberland County Council have given me the following update on their response to Storm Arwen. Please contact me on guy.opperman@parliament.uk or call: 020 7219 7113 with any concerns/ issues you have.
''Teams are continuing to work round the clock to support residents.
The council is aware of other settlements which have power and
water issues and is working closely with the utility companies to try and get
services restored as soon as possible.
Additional power staff from elsewhere in the
county have been inducted yesterday and working today to
boost (Northern Powergrid) NPG resources to repair damage.
All priority roads are being checked and tree safety checks are
taking place for all key open spaces.
A multi-agency operations room remains running at West Hartford Fire HQ, involving council, fire and police reps.''
