More engineers will be on standby
Electricity North West have been ramping up working as strong winds are set to batter the region tonight. Earlier today, LancsLive reported Storm Lillian is on the way, as well as the remnants of Hurricane Ernesto.
People are also reminded that these strong winds can be unsafe for lines teams to climb, resulting in delayed restorations. Samantha Loukes, incident manager for Electricity North West, said: "We’re constantly monitoring the weather, and our latest forecasts are showing that some areas of the North West could see wind speeds top 60mph.
"Where we can, we’ll utilise the remote technology on our network to restore supplies and once conditions have eased, teams will carry out permanent repairs where it is safe to do so."
