Businesses in a Snowdonia village want compensation after claims a series of power cuts has affected trade. Beddgelert Tourism Association<\/strong>, representing 47 businesses, says the power cuts in August hit without warning often at busy times.<\/p>\n

Scottish Power<\/strong> said the faults were weather-related. The company added a meeting has been arranged with the community council to update them about future upgrading.<\/p>\n

“The power cuts were during August and affected quite a lot of B&Bs and hotels especially when it happened over breakfast time,” said Colleen Marsden<\/strong> the secretary of the Beddgelert Tourism Association.<\/p>\n

Answers needed<\/em><\/p>\n

“Shops were also being affected as the credit card terminals were not working. On one Friday afternoon there was a particularly long period without power and many people staying in holiday cottages decided to leave a day early. There were three or four cuts in all, and although it seems to have been sorted we still need answers to our concerns, and we’re asking for compensation. I emailed Scottish Power last week on behalf of the 47 businesses the tourist association represents and I’ve still not heard back,” she added.<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman for the power company said the problems in the village were all “weather related”.<\/p>\n

“In one a lightning strike damaged a transformer and in a couple of others high winds brought branches down onto overhead lines.”<\/p>\n

She added that whilst looking at the damaged overhead lines the company decided that modernising work was needed in the area.<\/p>\n

“A meeting has been arranged with the community council at the beginning of October so that we can keep them informed about what we’re doing,” she added.<\/p>\n
