Electricity fluctuating since NYE

[cat woman]

Hi

Has anyone else noticed their electricity dipping quite frequently and their lights flickering over the past couple of weeks?

My neighbours have had the same issue so I think it must be an issue with the main supply. We are in Oakhurst Grove.

When I checked the UK Power Networks website there have been a few power cuts in the area which are now fixed but it hasn't resolved the flickering.

I will report the issue to them but it would be good to know if anyone else has noticed the same problem.

Thanks

This is interesting, we've been having the same problem on Tyrrell road for the last week.

I have reported this to UK Power Networks and they are going to investigate but they said that anyone experiencing the same problems shoudl also report it as it will help to locate the source of the problem and increase the urgency.

The number to report it is 0800 31 63 105

Thanks for letting me know.

Looks like it's our little area then. If you are able to report it would be really helpful. It seems to be getting worse I think today.

It’s the same on Ferris Road - very frequently flickering yesterday. I will call or report too. Thank you!

UK Power Net say there ‘are engineers on site at the moment’ and they would like to hear from everyone experiencing this so that they can establish how wide the problem is. Fingers crossed they can solve it!

Thanks to everyone who reported this. After a few hours power outage on Monday night while they fixed the faulty cable the issue on Oakhurst was resolved and mine has definitely been fine ever since. I hope everyone else’s is now fixed too. If not get onto uk power networks. They will send engineers to investigate.
