A man from County Durham has launched a petition to get all residents left in the dark by Storm Arwen and Storm Malik compensation.
Paul Robinson, 69, who lives in Dipton, which he said is notorious for power cuts, said residents in the village were left without power for 41 hours during Storm Arwen and 25 hours during Storm Malik.
However, he said that he was told by Northern Powergrid that because the power cuts were less than 48 hours, they would not be entitled to any compensation.
