Severe Weather Emergency Provision (SWEP) - 11 July 2025

Due to the expected increase in temperature over the weekend, we are activating our Severe Weather Emergency Protocols (SWEP) today.

As the weather is exceptionally hot, if you see anyone sleeping out on the streets of Buckinghamshire, please contact StreetLink via https://www.streetlink.org.uk or phone 0300 500 0914, who will notify our dedicated Outreach workers.  

If you see anyone you believe to be under the age of 18 and/or are concerned about the health or welfare of anyone that you see sleeping rough, please call 999.

Cold water and shade will be available in Buckinghamshire Council offices at Walton Street, Aylesbury, and Queen Victoria Road, High Wycombe.

During office hours you can contact our housing teams on the following numbers:

• Aylesbury Vale Area: 01296 585168

• Chiltern and South Bucks & Wycombe Areas: 01494 421212

• Out of hours - 0800 999 7677

Kind regards

Buckinghamshire Council
