Thanks to UK Power Networks!
Huge thanks to UK Power Networks who did a great job restoring the power after it went off in the early hours of this morning.
It was a mammoth task to replace the poles and high voltage cables brought down by a huge tree, made even harder due to difficult access to the site.
The power was restored at 14.45 and in the circumstances it was surprising that they managed to get it done so quickly on the same day.
In addition the notification system worked really well with regular updates on progress.
Congratulations on a great job.
