Storm Arwen: Army called in after a week without power
The Army has been called in to help as thousands of people in The North of England remain without electricity a week after Storm Arwen struck.
About 6,000 Northern Powergrid (NP) and 1,700 Electricity North West (ENWL) customers in Cumbria have no supply.
Durham County Council said More Than 100 personnel would arrive in The County later.
It said it asked for help because NP had been " unable to confirm when supplies will be restored".
The Authority with supplies to thousands of properties in areas including Teesdale and Weardale still off.
Military Personnel were drafted in to on Thursday.
Speaking in The Commons , Westmorland and Lonsdale MP Tim Farron called for the Army to also assist engineers in Cumbria.
ENWL said earlier in the week The Company had drafted in specialist power engineers from elsewhere in the country.
But spokesperson Paul Bircham said he was " not sure the Army have the engineering capability to work on High Voltage electricity networks".
" However, the more people we can have on the ground checking on everybody, that is something that is very welcome, " He Said .
ENWL said it was hoping to restore all supplies by Friday.
