‘There is power cut affecting the CH6 postcode area of Flint. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

We did not know in advance there would be a power cut, and became aware of this at 4.53PM. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Our control centre will attempt to reset the network remotely to restore power in stages, and we will also send our next available engineer to attend site. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
