Power cut

On Thursday, 23 January 2014, all power was lost in Nelson Road.

The cause, originally, was a cable under the pavement outside the United Reformed Church. Eventually this was repaired, during which time the cables from the emergency generator were stolen! This delayed further repair until replacement cables could be supplied. Power was finally fixed on the 27th of January with a security guard in attendance as the power company feared for the safety of the generator itself! It’s not just the railway that thieves are targeting – they are closer to home than we think.
