Half of Burgess Hill has been out of power all morning.

Obviously the mobile phone masts are off.

Now the ETA for a fix is expected to be 2:30pm - if that doesn't slip further.

The power cut affects most of Haywards Heath too.

That’s 2 big towns without power for nearly 4 hours.

Wouldn't happen in a posh area.........

Won't somebody please think of the Freeview users of Burgess Hill

 

[Official Old Man]

Ha Ha, I read it as being today when it's 2016 BUT it also today. Maybe not such a large area. Burgess Hill came back on at 1:00.

Went off for about 4 hours overnight, then again around 10am for another 3 hours here…….

A power outage in parts of Horsham as well earlier today, l was prevented from purchasing a new sweatshirt in M & S!

All seemed to be hunky dory in Cowfold though, just 7 miles down the road.

No power cut in Cuckfield, just sayin'...

(albeit the children were all sent home from Warden Park at 11:30 in case they didn't have power to cook lunch...)

Unfortunately for the customer Sparkie hadn't packed his magical off and on gloves so will now be calling at a later date.
