Advice from the National Grid.

With named storms passing through more regularly, it’s good to be prepared for potential power cuts. Whatever the conditions, National Grid is here to keep the lights on and support you 24/7.

Switched on advice 

Visit the Switched On Hub and you’ll find lots of useful help and information about what to do if the power goes down. Plus safety advice should you come across fallen power lines, or if your home is flooded.

Our Switched On Hub also provides information on:

• Fuel poverty support
• Our guarantees to you

Sometimes we may need to visit customers. Our Arrangements for Access to Premises statement explains what you can expect from us when that happens.

Police Notice

Reports of recruitment fraud are rising in Avon and Somerset.

Fraudsters may advertise fake jobs, sometimes posing as well-known companies, and ask victims to pay fees for things like DBS checks, training, or work permits.

Fraudsters are also using messaging platforms like WhatsApp to lure people with offers of “extra income” through tasks like reviewing products or boosting website views.

They often encourage victims to invest in cryptocurrency, disguised as a “setup fee.” They might even add their victims to a group to make it seem like others are doing the same job or return a small amount of money early on to make the ‘job’ seem genuine.

If you suspect you’ve been targeted: Report it to Action Fraud: 0300 123 2040
