POWER CUTS
Electricity supplier SSE says up to 24,000 homes in Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Wiltshire were left without power after with overhead network came into contact with tree branches brought about by snow and heavy winds.
In South West of England and Wales, close to 3,000 customers have been affected by power cuts. Drivers are being advised by police to avoid non-essential journeys, but because it is the Christmas season, motorists will generally set out on the roads whenever they feel the need tor desire to do so. However, it is worth being conscious of the need to heed weather warnings, especially during the festive period.
