Hospital Services Affected After Power Cut

A minor power blip this afternoon has had wider ramifications at the Maelor Hospital where all servers are ‘down’, affecting IT provision on the site.

The power was off for around 5 seconds around Wrexham.com’s offices off Regent Street, with others reporting a similar power blip at the same time.

Power cut in town centre for a few seconds – couple of alarms triggered as a result. All back on now…
