Power cut leaves Elms freshers without electricity and water

Last night Elms Village was plunged into darkness after a power cut left freshers without water or electricity.

The electricity in halls was unstable all night as some buildings momentarily regained power only to lose it again.

Freshers used precious moments of supply to stock up on of water, not knowing when they’d have access again.

Necessary supplies

The power cut lasted only 30 mins for the Holly Grove buildings but the flats in Sycamore were left without power for three hours.

Most of the premium suites did not lose power, with only some of the flats going dark briefly.
