Power cuts hit area repeatedly

Chorley estate in the recent past has suffered frequent electricity outages leaving the locals angry and frustrated.
In last fourteen days the people residing in Shaw Hill Street claim they have experienced over fifteen blackouts which has forced people to turn to other alternatives for lighting purposes. Strangely the power cuts are only being experienced in one section of the street where approximately twenty households have been the victims.

The people residing in the area have grown tired of forwarding complaints to the electricity supplier concerned and now a solution found.

Adele Speakman, a resident of the area admitted that it was impossible to have a bath or prepare tea due to the electricity interruptions which they were experiencing. She complained that she was sometimes left unable to prepare breakfast for some of her children wondered what she would once she delivered a new baby if the frequent power cuts persisted.

Adele Speakman’s neighbour, Mary Hodgkinson, who is an elderly lady said she had been complaining to the electricity supplier every day for the last fourteen days and yet nothing had been done about it. She admitted to calling the electricity supplier’s emergency number several times only to be told that they hadn’t been notified of the problem.

A spokesperson for United Utilities, which is the electricity supplier responsible, regretted the inconveniences the residents had suffered and made the assurance that the electricity distributor was doing all it could to rectify the problem in the shortest time possible. He explained that it was not possible to zero in on the network fault since it was a developing fault.
