Hundreds of people in Waltham Abbey and Epping have been left without power after damage caused by Storm Eunice.
In Waltham Abbey a high voltage overhead line fault has caused a power cut which is affecting 765 households.
There are also two issues in Epping Forest - one near St Margaret's Hospital also caused by an electricity line fault, and another between Epping Road and Houblons Hill due to issues with UK Power Networks' equipment.
The first is affecting 164 homes while UK Power Networks says the other's number is still to be confirmed.
#StormEunice: we're getting a high volume of messages right now. We have extra staff on duty to respond as fast as possible, but we're unable to respond to everyone individually at the moment. We’re really sorry for the delay. View updates: https://t.co/pCiENdSVwg pic.twitter.com/2a18fezJcH
