Repair MBORC Declaration - Updated

Please see below MBORC statement released by Openreach:

"This MBORC lifting notification is issued as a special message to all Openreach customers following the recent severe weather experienced in parts of the UK MB23217.

Parts of the UK were hit with severe weather over the Bank Holiday weekend of 26 & 27 May 2018 and into the following week, with lightning storms and heavy rain. This resulted in damage to our network, with fault rates in the affected areas at very high levels and mobility challenges for our engineers.

Openreach therefore declared MBORC for repair activities in three areas, with effect from 23:59 30 May 2018:

We've been taking steps, including directing additional engineers into these areas, to recover the position as quickly as we possibly can and are now able to remove MBORC for repair activities from the following area with effect from 23:59 02 June 2018.

Birmingham and Black Country

(Please note this is a retrospective removal)

MBORC MB23217 remains in place in the following areas:

Coventry

Crayford

 We'll continue to monitor the situation in these areas and in a number other areas impacted by the storm conditions and we'll remove MBORC as soon as service can be restored to the levels they were at immediately before the severe weather
