Some Wembley Park power may not be restored until after 7pm

Households in the Wembley Park area  (HA9 9**) woke up (except for those who have electronic alarm clocks) to a power cut this morning which began just after 7am. There was a partial restoration just after 11am but UK Power Networks then said  some homes may not get power back until approximately 3.15pm. That has now been changed to 7pm as 'pinpointing the fault location is taking longer than anticipated'.

The fault is in an underground cable which seems to be a repeat of previous power cuts in the area. UK Power by mid-morning reported that the cable repair is 'more complex than we first anticiapted'.

UK Power ask customers to call them on 03332  022 021 if they have a vulnerable person at home and heating is off due to the power failure.
