Oldham homes told to prepare for power cuts

Royton Town Hall

Dozens of homes in Oldham are being warned that they’ll be without power next Monday as part of planned work by Electricity North West.

Around 35 homes in Royton will be cut off on Monday, April 11, as part of planned work being carried out to improve the reliability of the electricity supply in the area.

Electricity North West has listed a number of postcodes due to be impacted by the loss of power, they include: OL2 5NN, OL2 5NJ, OL1 2SU, OL1 2SS, OL1 2SR, OL1 2TB, OL2 5NH, OL2 5NG.

Engineers will be in the Royton area next Monday working on the electricity supply and the outage of power to the properties will mean that the work can be carried out in the safest possible way.

Electricity North West hasn’t given an update of when they expect the supply to be restored to the 35 properties once the work has been completed.
