Consultation

For your information, we are planning to carry out road resurfacing
remedial works along A140, as detailed below. The works are programmed to
take place on 11 and 16 July 2022, working overnight between 8pm and 5am.
The road will be closed to ensure that we can carry out our works safely
and the temporary speed limit will remain in place between the dates
listed.

The first phase will involve the application of a regulating layer, which
will provide a level and smoother surface, to support the embedment of the
final surface dressing treatment. The regulating layer will need a few
days to settle before the surface dressing treatment.

A140 Norwich Road, Stonham Parva (from junction with Debenham Road to
Turnpike)
A140 Turnpike, Stonham Parva
A140 Pains Hill, Stonham Parva

For the duration of the road closure, traffic will be diverted via A140,
A14, A134, A143, A140 and vice versa.

As we plan roadworks in advance, we schedule extra days to allow for bad
weather or other delays beyond our control. If we need to make major
changes to our work dates, we will update the information signs on site.

A plan showing the diversion route for these works is attached to this
email. When we close the road and put a diversion in place, the route
needs to be accessible to vehicles of all shapes and sizes. We make our
diversions as clear as possible by placing appropriate signing along the
route. The latest updates on our works can be found on our website at
"Temporary road closures for Suffolk Highways

and on One.Network<https://one.network/> website.

There may be times that essential emergency works are required to take
place on the highway network without advanced notice – you can follow

latest emergency roadwork updates.

Please could you use any contacts within your division or parish to

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing regarding our preparations for Storms Dudley and Eunice, which will arrive consecutively in the UK from tomorrow (Wednesday 16^th February).

 As you may be aware, UK Power Networks manages the local power lines and substations which distribute electricity to over 8.3m homes and businesses across London, the South East and the East of England.

 Storm Dudley will arrive tomorrow and is forecast to have a minimal impact on our network. However, Storm Eunice is expected to arrive on Friday 18^th and is expected to bring stronger winds and unsettled weather.

Our electricity network is built to be resilient but strong winds and heavy rain can bring down branches and trees, damaging overhead power lines. Where this happens we work to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.

 We have organised for additional staff in our contact centre and more engineers on the ground, particularly for Storm Eunice, to be available to help customers whose electricity supply might be affected by the predicted weather.

 Both you and your residents will be able to find regular updates and information about individual power cuts on our website www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk . We will also be posting general updates on @UKPowerNetworks .

 Anyone experiencing a power cut should:

• Visit www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk/powercut and type in their postcode to view our live power cut map, with details of individual power cuts
• Call 105 free of charge to speak to our customer service team, report a power cut or damage to the electricity network
• Tweet @UKPowerNetworks to report a power cut or to receive updates
• Visit www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk for the latest updates

 We advise people to stay clear of power lines and report damaged power lines immediately by calling 105 free from either a landline or a mobile phone. If they see electricity lines that are down or causing significant risk to the public they should call 999.

 We provide extra help to customers on our Priority Service Register during a power cut.  Households with older or disabled people, those with children under five, or where someone uses medical or mobility equipment that requires electricity as well as other reasons can join the register.  You can find out more information about our Priority Service on our website: ukpowernetworks.co.uk/priority .

 If you would like to share information with your constituents about preparing for the storm or registering for the Priority Service Register, you might like to share the following on Twitter or to your local Facebook pages:

 As a result of #StormEunice, heavy rain and high winds are due to arrive on Fri 18^th Feb. @UKPowerNetworks has extra field engineers and call centre staff on hand to support any customers affected. Call 105 to report a powercut or visit www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk/powercut #ukpnnews

Do you, or someone you know, need extra support during a power cut? @UKPowerNetworks provides free services to customers in vulnerable circumstances during a power cut. Visit ukpowernetworks.co.uk/priority for more information. #StormEunice #ukpnnews

If you have any questions, or if I can help in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours faithfully,

 Michael
