More than 600 homes across Nidderdale are still without power, four days on from Storm Arwen.

Electricity supplies went down on Friday (26 November) - with Northern Powergrid working round the clock to fix damaged power lines.

It also said some customers may be without a connection until Friday.

They released this statement yesterday (November 29), however, more than 20,000 homes are still affected:

Rod Gardner, Northern Powergrid’s Major Incident Manager, said:

“We are making progress given the conditions, carrying out repairs and restoring power. We are doing everything possible to restore power to as many customers today and will ensure we call every customer who is still off supply as a result of the storm.

"However, the complexity and scale of the situation means that some customers will continue to be without power overnight."
