Storm Bella: Felled tree causes power cut in more than 100 Malvern homes
A TREE felled by the force of Storm Bella has grounded an 11,000-volt pole and cut off electricity for 126 Malvern addresses.
Most have been restored but 10 in the vicinity of Rye Street, Birtsmorton, six miles south of the Three Counties Showground, Malvern, remain without power.
- More than 100 Worcester homes near Worcestershire Royal Hospital left without power
- Worcestershire flood warnings and road closures - Dec 27
- Yellow warnings for snow and ice across Worcestershire tonight
A spokesperson for Western Power Distribution confirmed no generator-led power would be supplied as it would be quicker to reconnect the affected homes by replacing the pole.
The full resumption of normal service is expected at 4pm today (Sunday, December 27).
