What is happening in your area
A large part of our network is run through the ground, hidden from view, especially in high-density areas. These are the electricity cables that bring power to your homes and business.
If they need fixing or upgrading, sometimes we have no option but to dig up the road. This can involve digging and traffic management to be in place while our engineers safely carry out works.
We know this can have an impact on our customers' daily lives so we will do everything we can to minimise disruption and carry out works as quickly and safely as possible.
