Brampton carol singing 2014
Thank you to all those who sang carols so heartily under a starlit sky during Christmas Eve around the village. We are grateful those who welcomed us to their door steps and into their houses, to those who delayed or interrupted their meals and helped us celebrate Christmas. You generously donated £212.77 to our collection in aid of the East Anglian Children’s Hospice.

Back Lane Closed
Back Lane will be closed overnight tonight as a 40 foot Portuguese registered lorry has become stuck at the bottom. It was delivering to Brampton Hall farmyard and was following the sat-nav. The police have confirmed that it would be too dangerous to back it out tonight but it should be moved shortly after daybreak on the 4th December.
Brampton has shown its best side tonight. The driver of the vehicle speaks little English and yet people have made sure he has hot drink and food.

Power Cuts
This morning we had a power cut caused by a fire in a transformer. The cut affected a large area but we were back on a lot quicker than the initial estimate as the network switched things around. For reference in the event of a power cut information can be found by ringing 01243 508838 (select option 2). You actually speak to a helpful real person in a local call centre. If you are vulnerable for any reason you should tell them and they will take that in to account or, in extremis, make alternative arrangements for you.
