Storm warnings

The North West is bracing itself for further storms following multiple weather warnings regarding high winds, increasing the risk of power cuts.

Storm Dudley has passed and Electricity North West are advising us they are restoring the final customers today.

Tomorrow we are expecting Storm Eunice and Franklin on Sunday.

The winds will be much stronger tomorrow across the region, especially coastal areas and everyone is being urged to prepare for the weather with blankets, torches and charging any devices such as mobile phones.
