Power outage affecting parts of Pulborough and West Chiltington

Electricity has been switched off until about 3pm due to planned work, UK Power Networks said.

The RSPB wildlife organisation tweeted their visitor centre at Pulborough Brooks is closed, though the reserve itself remains open.

The work is taking place off Mare Hill Road in Pulborough and at Lordings Lane in West Chiltington.

A statement from UK Power Networks said: “We’re carrying out planned work in this area.

“For our engineers to carry it out safely they need to turn the power off. We will only do this work if it’s essential to providing a more reliable power supply in your area.

“We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.”
