A NUMBER of planned power cuts are due to go ahead.
Electricity North West has warned residents they will be temporarily without power while repair works are carried out.
Seven households are due to be without power on May 5. The homes affected will be in the LA12 8H area.
On the same day a power cut will go ahead in Broughton at Duddon Bridge, when 17 houses are due to be without electricity.
And one household nearby close to Broughton is due to be affected on the same day.
Residents are informed of power cuts at least 10 days before to allow for 'vital work'.
Clive Wilkinson, the operations director at Electricity North West, said: “A lot of the work we do happens in the background and customers aren’t always affected, we even have ‘live lines’ teams who can work on live electricity equipment without turning power off, however, sometimes we do have to turn people’s power off so that our engineers can work on the network safely."
