Blackout Blunder Hits Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill
Shoppers Left in the Dark at Sainsbury’s
Power cuts plunged Haywards Heath into darkness today, disrupting shoppers at Sainsbury’s. Meanwhile, swimmers at the Dolphin Leisure Centre in Pasture Hill Road had to dive for cover as the pool went dark, forcing an abrupt end to their fun.
Another Big Outage Rocks West Sussex
The blackout is linked to a massive power failure earlier this week that left over 30,000 homes, schools, and businesses in West Sussex powerless for hours. Now, the Burgess Hill area faces more interruptions.
Safety Checks Shut Off Power for Thousands
UK Power Networks confirmed they had to cut power temporarily from 12:45pm to carry out urgent safety checks after a substation fault on March 9th. The outage is expected to last around three hours, affecting thousands of local properties.
“Our teams are working tirelessly to restore the power supply as quickly and safely as possible,” a spokeswoman reassured.
