A power cut is set to hit more than 100 homes across nine Bolton postcodes next week.
According to Electricity North West, the cut is set to come into effect on Wednesday August 31 and will hit up to 134 homes and businesses across the BL7 9HY, BL7 9QP, BL7 9FU, BL7 9PX, BL7 9NX, BL7 9NY, BL1 9NY, BL7 9DA, BL7 9NW postcodes between Bromley Cross and Egerton.
The utilities company says that this is to ensure that its engineers can safely complete maintenance works on power cables.
An Electricity North West statement said: “We appreciate your patience while our engineers carry out a planned power cut in your area, this is to improve the reliability of your electricity supply and so our engineers can safely work on the cables that provide electricity to your home or business.”
The company says that once work has begun on the power cables, they will work to ensure that electricity will be restored as soon as possible.
Electricity North West regularly plans power cuts in order to allow its engineers to carry out maintenance works.
Households and businesses are warned ahead of time on the company’s website.
Engineers are also regularly deployed to tackle unplanned power cuts.
