County Durham homes are without power amid Storm Dave

From Bishop Auckland to Consett and beyond, a number have been left without electricity, according to the Northern Powergrid.

It comes as the region continues to experience high winds that reached up to 70 and 80 miles per hour along the coast.

An amber weather warning for wind was also in place in the region between 7pm on Saturday (April 4) and 3am on Sunday, with caution that the storm could pose a danger to life.

Now, homeowners are bearing the brunt of the storm impact with cuts that the powergrid say they are “working hard” to fix.

A Northern Powergrid statement reads: “Storm Dave has caused damage to the network across our regions.

“We are working hard to restore power to all customers affected.

“We are aiming to give our best view and timings for getting people back on today. 

“Our online power cut map gives the same information that is available to our contact centre team. We are updating the power cut map regularly, with more accurate estimated times, as soon as we are able.

“Supporting customers is always our priority. We know it’s difficult to be without power and we’re here to support you, 24/7.”

Here’s a list of active cuts in County Durham:
