Hundreds of homes around Shropshire without power after Storm Goretti - here are the main areas affected

Following the snow, wind and rain of Storm Goretti overnight, hundreds of people across Shropshire were without power on Friday morning. 

Homes affected included some in Shrewsbury, Telford, Broseley, Church Stretton, Craven Arms and Bishop's Castle. 

According to the map, most of the power cuts in Shropshire occurred around midnight.

National Grid has said power has been restored to 147,983 properties across the South West, Midlands, and South Wales after Storm Goretti disrupted access to some sites on Thursday evening.

But at 10am, hundreds of homes were still without power in Shropshire with postcodes affected including SY4, SY5, SY6, SY7, TF4, TF5, TF6, TF12, TF13 and WV16. 

National Gride said teams will “continue to work tirelessly” throughout the day on Friday to restore power to the remaining properties without power.

Emma Pamplin, director of customer excellence, said: “Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. During a storm, we know how unsettling it can be to lose power, and we’re doing all we can to keep you informed and supported until your supply is restored.  

“Our contact centre is available around the clock, and we are proactively contacting our most vulnerable customers to ensure they’re safe and well. If you experience a power cut, please call 105.  

“We’d like to thank you for your patience and understanding while our teams work to restore power in difficult conditions.”
