Engineers are continuing to work around the clock to restore power to the remaining 750 customers in Cumbria after the severe floods this week.

More than 170 engineers are working on it.

Mark Williamson, operations director for Electricity North West, said: “This has clearly been an unprecedented weather event, with the most rainfall in 24-hours the UK has ever seen.

“We have completed all the repair work at our substations and we’re working day and night to visit properties and get the remaining 750 customers back on.

“We’re at the final stages now, but this is an incredibly complicated exercise as it needs customers to return to their flooded homes to get access and any damaged equipment, including meters, to be replaced by an electricity supplier.

“We would like to thank customers for their continued patience this week, we know this has been a very trying time for people and the support we have received has been incredible.”
