Dozens of areas across Dorset are still without power after Storm Eunice and Storm Franklin hit the region.

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks has reported several outages across the county with hundreds of homes left without power.

A yellow weather warning remains in place across Dorset as Storm Franklin hits, days after a rare “dangerous” red weather warning was issued in the area for Storm Eunice.

An SSE spokesman said: “We’re very sorry for the power cut. As you may have seen in the media, Storm Eunice delivered some of the most adverse conditions we’ve seen in many years, with wind speeds in parts of our region hitting record levels.

“The worst of the weather has passed and it’s now safe for our teams to begin work on repairing and altering our network to get your power back on.”

These are the areas of around Bournemouth still without power, and when SSE expects to have issues resolved.
