UK POWER NETWORKS UPCOMING PROJECT
From 12 August for 44 weeks
Dear Clerk of the Parish
I write to you from UK Power Networks and we are responsible for maintaining the electrical network in your area. I would like to notify you of an electricity infrastructure project that we will be undergoing within your Parish. The aim of the project is to facilitate an increase in electrical demand whilst improving the resilience of the network for the future.
These works will be taking place on the substation off Sapiston Road, Honington (Map attached) starting 12 August 2024. In partnership with our contractor, UKPNS, we will be replacing the transformers on the substation as they have reached the end of their economic life. All works will be completed within the substation, however local residents may see an increase in our works traffic entering and exiting the site. Our work should have no impact on the electricity supply for residents or businesses. Works are expected to last for 44 weeks.
In preparation for these works, we have consulted neighbouring landowners who are aware of the upcoming works and signage will be provided on approach to the site. Whilst attending the site, it was apparent that these works were taking place next to a popular walking route and I’d like to make you aware of the project should any residents of your Parish enquire as to the nature of the works.
If you would like to discuss more about our work and this project, please do feel free to contact myself.
Thank you for your time.

Honington children participate in unveiling of village sign
10th July - By Sophie Skyring - AI - Assisted Reporter
Honington village unveiled its new sign on Monday with pupils from Honington CEVC Primary School playing a crucial role.
The youngsters, who form part of the school council, said it was "exciting and important" to be a part of the ceremony.
The new sign, intended to give special recognition to key landmarks in the area, was revealed to villagers, school personnel and parish members.
Reverend Sally Fodgen marked the event with a special talk about the sign, followed by a prayer to bless the village.
The sign, a rainbow of colour representing all the important places and main features of their community, includes the school, church, wild swans in the river by the bridge, a farmer driving a tractor. a buccaneer airplane and a reference to the RAF station.
The robust metal replacement is a timely upgrade from the original wooden sign, created by Mervyn Thurlow in 1993, and provides a warm welcome to all visiting Honington, showing everyone what there is to see.
