LIGHTNING strikes around Overton have been causing damage to properties in the village, according to residents.
Complaints have been made from around the village about several power-cuts and blown fuses, with houses on Sapley Lane being some of the worst affected.
The issue was raised at Overton Parish Council’s latest meeting with several councillors saying they have had calls about melted plug sockets and broken modems.
The council has decided to discuss the issue and various other ‘resilience’ topics at its next full council meeting in November.
