Storm damage compensation
UK Power Networks says it expects to pay out over a million pounds in compensation for electricity supplies disrupted by the storm last Monday
Over £1 million for those who suffered power cuts
More than 1 million pounds in compensation will be paid out to customers in the East, who suffered power cuts after last Monday's storms. UK power Networks said it's doubling the usual amount paid to people, who are without power for longer than 48 hours, as a gesture of goodwill.
The company has written around 20 thousand letters to customers in this region, who may be entitled to a share of the money. Victoria Lampard reports
