power cut anyone?

[purplenormy]

anyone suffering from a power cut around Landells road. Went off around 15 minutes ago, street lights out too.

Yeah but I'm on Wood Vale so may be different incident. Went off about 10.30. EDF are digging further along the road. A neighbour who went out to ask was told that a cable went bang, they have to replace and it will be at least 2 hours. I have retired to bed with candles and phone... after remembering for a change to turn off the lights etc that were on so that I don't get woken up when it does come back on

Any more info anyone? A friend who is on Landells road told me about 10 minutes ago (so almost 12 hours later!) that they are still without power, and can't get through to the Electric people other than a recorded message.

Sorry. Ours came back on around 3.30am

We didn't get any info from phone lines either. Are you using the 08000280247 number? It was just luck that we found the workers and asked

Have had a look on their website but can't see a list of outages or responses listed

I spoke to someone this morning who said they'd found the fault, but it was underground so they didn't know how long it would take to fix.

Walking to work later, there were indeed some chaps from the leccy getting ready to do a spot of digging on Landells. I hope they've got it sorted by the time I get home!
