ON Saturday, 9 December 2023, a power cut affected the L37 and L38 postcode areas, caused by the high voltage power supply from the National Grid being affected by Storm Elin's high winds.

The National Grid 1st became aware of the issue at around:- 5.29pm, and engineers then got sent out to find and fix the fault as quickly, and as safely as possible. Due to the failure of the National Grid's network within the area, street lighting, traffic lights, and also homes and businesses got plunged into darkness, except for a few buildings with dim light from battery-powered emergency lighting and Christmas decorations illuminating them.

Postcodes that had been affected by this outage are as follows:-
