Power cuts in Brightling – a chance to find out what is being done about them
For those not fortunate enough to have their own private electricity supply, power cuts have continued to occur. But we are making progress. From my network of informants, I have the information that (even as I write this words) a programme of felling trees near the power line is being carried out.
Braving the chainsaws, my informant interrogated two workers, who told him that they were “cutting trees along the whole stretch from the Brightling mine to Mountfield. They are seven days’ into the job. Most of the issues are caused by two things, ash die-back disease and hugely tall pine trees falling over.”
Mr Tom Miles, area manager at UK Power networks, will be live on-line at the annual Brightling village meeting on Wednesday 14th April to answer your questions about recent power cuts, and the work that is currently going on to address this issue. This will be a Zoom meeting (the Zoom joining details will be circulated nearer the time of the meeting).
If you have any questions for Mr Miles, please could you submit them in advance by email to the parish clerk (Gilly Lowe) at brightlingclerk@gmail.com

CTs are inspected for clinical reporting by the clinical radiologist on duty. Patients with nodules 10 mm will not go forward for EvA bronchoscopy but will be referred for further diagnostics and therapy for potential malignancy. When these findings have been investigated then the patients can be re-entered into the EvA study. Cases with nodules 10 mm can proceed to EvA bronchoscopy and will be referred for further management thereafter. The whole lung EvA-E scans are analysed for lung density using the PULMO CMS software (Medis Specials, Leiden, the Netherlands) and expressed as Perc15 (HU), which is the density in Hounsfield units of the lower h percentile of the lung. Additional readouts will be the percentage of lung tissue with different lung density cut-offs (
