Storm Franklin

21/2/2022

 
Storm Franklin has now passed but it has left some devastation in its path, which has predominantly been in South Lakeland. 
 
Unfortunately, there were a number of areas across South Lakeland which were without power and at 10am this morning there were 2,790 homes being reported by ENW in need of restoration.  The Cumbria LRF has met during the day to keep updated on the situation and to prepare for any support that may be needed. 
 
Each of the faults were well resourced by ENW and the power started to reconnect fairly quickly.  ENW were also calling all of their vulnerable customers as well as sending people out to do welfare checks.
 
While ENW are currently working on faults and issues in a number of areas, there remain 2 areas of specific concern, which ENW have fully resourced plans in place for. The whole of Coniston village has been off for most of the day but they are now coming back online.  Spark Bridge is due to be resolved by 4pm tomorrow at the latest.  There are businesses in the area offering hot meals for those affected.
 
Please could you encourage people to call 105 to register electricity faults and/or to register themselves as requiring extra help, if they are not currently on the priority services register. As always, anything which is a threat to life should be called through to 999.
 
We have also been sharing the information below, which you are welcome to pass on to others.

If you or someone close to you is dying, you can talk to us.
At the Anne Robson Trust we aim to be there to listen to anyone who is struggling with the imminent death of someone they care about.  We know that facing the end of life can leave you isolated and alone.
Calls are free and confidential – Call us on 0808 801 0688
Being able to access support whilst a loved one is dying is really important for a number of reasons. Gaining knowledge of what may happen towards the end and having a sense of ‘preparedness’ helps both the person dying and their family gain as much control as possible.
Please visit www.annerobsontrust.org.uk/helpline-service to find out more.
