There was a lengthy power outage in my estate last night. Many thanks to your team for their work getting power back on. Unfortunately this isn't the first time this has occurred. Over the past year or so, I've noticed that this has happened on a number of occasions. Usually it's just the area around Brooklands estate that is affected. I'd like to know what is causing these outages
