Power Cut? Call 105
If you have a power cut, call 105 – a new, free service for people in England, Scotland and Wales. Find out more at www.powercut105.com
Introducing the launch of a new national power cut phone line – 105 – to help people contact the company that looks after their electricity network. This would be UK Power Networks for London, the East and South East of England.
The number, which is available to electricity customers in England, Scotland and Wales, will enable people to report or get information about power cuts as well as report damage to electricity power lines and substations that could put themselves, or someone else, in danger. 105 is funded and delivered by the electricity network operators, and is a first for the UK’s energy industry.
As well as calling 105, people can find more information on the website: http://www.powercut105.com/

We are smoke-free in our play areas
Necton Parish Council has signed up to Breckland Council’s voluntary code to promote a smoke-free area around our children’s’ play area. You will see this colourful sign at the entrances to the play area.
The image was drawn by the winner of Breckland Council’s recent competition and it gets the message out clear and simple. Read more about Freya and her photo here.

Fly-tipping in the village
There has been a spate of fly-tipping in the village over the past week. Black bags in the verge at Ivy Todd, for sale board and safety cone on verge of Hale Road and, would you believe, waste window frame and plasterboard which was seen falling from a moving lorry along Hale Road.
All of these have been reported to Breckland Council who are the authority responsible for this function.
Fly-tipping is a criminal offence and carries a hefty fine for convictions. Clear up costs us as taxpayers, so it is in our interest to report instances. This can be done direct to Breckland Council via their online report form.
