Several power cuts will impact residents across East Lancashire in the coming days and into next month, Electricity North West has warned.
On Thursday (October 27), 20 homes and businesses will be hit with power cuts across the BB7 9QN, BB7 9QJ and BB7 9QL postcodes in Whalley, Clitheroe.
On Friday (October 28), two customers will be impacted by a planned power cut on BB2 7NR in Blackburn.
On November 1, three customers will be impacted by a planned power cut on BB1 9EY.
The utility company says that the cuts are made so engineers can safely work on the cables that provide electricity to homes and businesses.
An Electricity North West spokesperson said: “We appreciate your patience while our engineers carry out a planned power cut in your area, this is to improve the reliability of your electricity supply and so our engineers can safely work on the cables that provide electricity to your home or business.”
The company says that once work has begun on the power cables, they will work to ensure that electricity will be restored as soon as possible.
Electricity North West regularly plans power cuts around the region in order to allow its engineers to carry out maintenance works.
Households and businesses are warned ahead of time on the company’s website.
Engineers are also regularly deployed to tackle unplanned power cuts.
