Cllr. Jill Whitehead takes part in Emergency Planning Exercise

This photo is taken of Cllr. Jill Whitehead and colleagues from last week’s emergency planning exercise at Sutton Life Centre where the exercise focused on a hypothetical emergency outside Carshalton railway station. All the emergency services were working together e.g. the Council, police, fire service, ambulance service, red cross, and others.

The Life Centre doubled as a centre for the “walking wounded” in the exercise, and a total of 75 volunteers took part acting out roles of those affected by the emergency. The exercise had been planned for some time but was very relevant in the current situation, with the recent Paris events uppermost in many people’s minds.
