Good morning - according to National Grid, more than 200 separate power cuts are being reported across Cornwall.

More than 7,900 properties in the South West are without power, many of these still the result of Storm Goretti.

National Grid said: "Our engineers are making steady progress restoring power after Storm Goretti, though fallen trees and debris are creating access challenges.

"For anyone still without power, welfare provisions such as warm spaces serving hot food and drinks, are available."

A total of 9,193 properties were without power across the south west as of 9.55pm on Sunday night.

This is down from the earlier figure of 13,468 a few hours ago, according to National Grid.

The figure in Cornwall without power currently stands at 8,994.

A number of schools will close across Cornwall on Monday due to the impact of Storm Goretti.

Helston Community College has said it will be opening tomorrow as usual - but students can wear non uniform if they wish.

This is intended to help families who may not be able to wash uniforms due to lack of power and water.

In an update on Facebook, the college, which was closed on Friday, wrote: "On Monday 12 January. the College will open at 8.45am as usual. All students must attend but they can wear non-uniform."

South West Water has said it hopes to restore water to all properties in Cornwall by tomorrow despite a fallen tree ripping a major water pipe out of the ground at a major treatment works.

The firm experienced significant damage to a water treatment works in Helston as a result of Storm Goretti on Thursday evening.

The service have confirmed that two drinking water mains next to the Wendron site suffered major damage after a tree ripped the pipe out of the ground and snapped it in two.

According to National Grid, there are still 13,468 properties without power in the South West as of 4pm today.

National Grid said in an update on Sunday: "Our engineers are continuing to make steady progress getting the power back on for customers affected by Storm Goretti.

"Fallen trees and other debris continue to be a significant challenge in some areas, preventing or restricting access to fault sites.

"We are continuing to offer welfare provision for customers without power, such as warm spaces serving hot food and drinks. Details can be found here.

"We give you our best estimate for when your power will be back on, based on what we know at the time. Times might change if we face unexpected challenges getting to the fault. These times show when the last person in the area will have power back - most of you will be reconnected before this.

"As engineers reconnect damaged parts of the network, some customers may experience intermittent power losses or flickering lights as work to stabilise the system continues, but this will be short-term."

While the fallout of Storm Goretti is still affecting tens of thousands as power and water supplies are still out in many areas, a Cornish MP has made a direct plea to the Prime Minister for additional support.

National Grid has advised on its power outage map that power is estimated to be restored tomorrow, leaving those without power facing another day of disruption.

These estimates, which stem power cuts across the width of Cornwall, are based on the damage caused in the wake of Storm Goretti and are subject to change.

In some areas, power was lost on Friday, meaning by the time power could be restored tomorrow at midnight, properties may have lost power for at least three days.

National Grid customers who have been without power for a lengthy period of time may be entitled to automatic compensation, up to a value of £2,000.

Over 16,000 properties remain without power across the South West according to National Grid.

As of 12.37pm, National Grid said there were 16,894 properties without power in the South West.
