Businesses in the south Liverpool area have had to close their doors following a power outage this evening.
Areas of Woolton village were hit by the outage at around 3pm on December 10, with electricity not expected to be restored until around 9.30pm. This meant some bars and restaurants on Allerton Road had to close on one of the busiest times of the week.
One ECHO reader who had a booking at Il Ristorante restaurant said it's a "nightmare" after the restaurant got in touch to tell her the power would be down for three more hours.
