Editor's desk
Hello and welcome to the Feb/
March edition of EM.
It's still not too late to wish all
of you a very happy New Year
and hopefully you survived the
Christmas storms without damage
or too much disruption. While the
counties in the southern and western
sea-boards seem to have taken most
of the gale force winds, our Network
colleagues travelled from other parts
of the country to assist local crews
in the areas most affected. Before
during and after Christmas, our
crews braved atrocious conditions
to ensure supply was restored as
quickly as possible to homes and
businesses in these areas. Part of
that great effort was also shared
by staff back at the various depots,
call centre and press office locations
so well done to everyone involved.
In this issue we carry a feature on
some of the damage to lines and
equipment from around the country.
Due to the unprecedented weather
we also had regular safety messages,
not just in relation to dangers around
falling cables, but to remind road
users of the dangers and challenges
of driving in such conditions. This
time it was also noticeable that many
news items covered the danger to
the public who went too close to
cliffs and promenades to film or
photograph the gigantic waves, not
something everyone might realise
was a perilous task. So stay safe and
be seen for the duration of winter.
Kind regards

Partington
Food Bank
donation
IN DECEMBER Carrington CCGT
site staff and contractors made a
donation to local charity, Citizens
Advice Bureau, Trafford who
manage the Partington Food Bank
in the UK. The money was collected
from site staff over the past few
months who had been 'fined' small
amounts to encourage on-time
arrival at site meetings and was
topped up before Christmas to just
over £1,500. All ESB project staff
working on the Carrington project
also contributed to this excellent
local cause adding £285 to the pot.
A group of representatives from
site visited the Food Bank premises to
see the operation and to present the
cheque. The Food Bank distributes
around 150 bags of groceries and
toiletries throughout Trafford each
month. The cheque was presented
to Dale Maskell, from Trafford CAB
who said: "We are thrilled with this
donation from the Carrington project
team for our food bank initiative. It
boosts our funding ahead of our
Christmas food distribution allowing
us to assist more at this costly time for
families". n
