Power Cuts & Priority Services

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks has put together information to help people in being prepared for power cuts.

There’s also information on how to register for their priority service, for people who might benefit from extra support before, during or after a power cut. Perhaps you know of a neighbour or friend who might benefit from this.

See the Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks website for details.

Join Wingfield Parish Council!

Following the local elections in May there are two vacancies on Wingfield Parish Council.

If you’re a community-minded person who can listen to others and is interested in ensuring the best outcomes for the village, then Wingfield Parish Council needs you!

Parish councils are part of grassroots democracy and contribute to the well-being of neighbourhoods by:

  • Representing the local community, giving residents a voice in local decision making and forming a bridge between the community and local government
  • Bringing people together by enabling residents to get involved, express their opinions and contribute, often by organising events, initiatives and projects
  • Playing a role in the planning and development process by reviewing and commenting on planning applications so they align with the needs of the local community
  • Raising funds through the Council Tax Precept, managing budgets and allocating resources to local projects and initiatives

To be considered for co-option, residents need to write a short statement about themselves, their skills & experience or their interest in supporting the council, as well as confirming that they meet criteria to be eligible to stand. Applications should be submitted to the Clerk by 15 June so that they can be considered by councillors at the next Parish Council meeting on 18 June.

Contact Selina, the Parish Clerk, at clerk@wingfieldparishcouncil.gov.uk or 07846 777510, for an informal chat about the responsibilities and commitment (not huge) and the satisfaction (immense) of serving your community.
