There is a suggestion that this may have been as the result of a surge in the supply. This can harm sensitive or unprotected equipment. Parishioners are advised to check their devices to ensure that they are operating correctly.
This may be a good time to remind ourselves about the Priority Services Register (PSR). This can give you extra support during a power cut, like regular updates and a special number to ring if you need extra support. You might be able to sign up if you’re disabled, pregnant or have young children. See the full list of eligibility criteria and how to sign up on the PSR website: www.psr.co.uk.
