 Power cuts across the district
We are aware that large parts of the Bradford district continue to be without electricity and around 1,500 properties are still affected.
Northern Powergrid are working to get people reconnected as quickly as they can. Their website has information about the individual power cuts and their estimated time for reconnection. Anyone who is vulnerable can ring 105.
Please continue to look out for vulnerable and elderly family, friends and neighbours.
Thank you to Addingham Memorial Hall, St Mary's Church Hall in Riddlesden, Denholme Youth Centre, Silsden Town Hall and Silsden Methodist Church for providing a safe space for people to get warm and charge their phones.
Thank you to all staff, residents, volunteers and councillors who have been working so hard to support people affected in the district.
