A storm-linked power cut has left approximately 700 homes in the Worcestershire area without electricity. The outage is affecting communities around the Kidderminster and Stourport region, including roads such as Cow Lane, Common Lane, Acton Lane and Crossway Green.
Engineers are reported to be working at multiple sites addressing the fault, and restoration is expected to continue into the evening.
If you’re in the region and still without power:
- Please check for any safety hazards (floodwater, fallen trees) that may have caused damage to lines.
- Unplug sensitive electronics until power is stable.
- Report your outage to your electricity supplier (you should find a reference on your bill) and keep them updated if conditions change.
- Stay safe – avoid lighting candles alone in dim surroundings, and keep torches handy.
We’ll keep monitoring the situation and provide updates as soon as power restoration is confirmed.
