A gentle reminder that many people are still without power and may have limited phone coverage or internet connection. Please check in on your neighbours, friends and family. A flask of tea, a hot meal or just a chat will make the world of difference to those affected.

With evenings still dark this time of year, itโ€™s important to ensure that you can be seen when out and about. Wear lighter coloured clothing, have a reflective strip or high visibility vest on and carry a torch. Always avoid poorly lit areas and use footpaths where available.
