Town Centre, Power Resupply Required!


Following on from yesterday's results of the previous night's deluge, and the most fire engines I've ever seen in one place (blog), now comes the clean up... etc...

The Fire & Rescue Service is still in attendance, notably a fire engine outside the cinema, apparently still pumping out water from Priory Meadow. Now though there are many UK Power Networks' vans (I've never seen so many of these either, not just those in the photograph, but in St Andrews Square too!) in the vicinity to replace the fire tenders, presumably to sort out electricity supplies. Indeed, they have even set up a temporary HQ in the Salvation Army building in St Andrews Square.

And yes, Priory Meadow is still closed, although a few businesses in Queens Road are open now, but not those with entrances in the shopping centre, it appears.
