HUNDREDS of homes across North Worcestershire have been left without power as Storm Eunice causes disruption.
Western Power Distribution (WMP) said it is working to resolve the issues
Graham Halladay, operations director at WMP said: “I’d like to thank our customers for their patience and understanding. Please be assured we are putting in every effort to restore power to you. While properties remain without power, we’ll continue to respond to incidents and restore supplies as quickly as safely possible.
“I’d also like to thank our staff for their unwavering efforts to restore power to our customers. We are very grateful.
“Remember, if you spot damage to our equipment or spot electricity poles or power lines that are down, please stay clear of them, keep others away while remaining safe yourself and call 105 immediately.”
We will be updating this list throughout the day if more disruption is reported.
