Work is under way on an 拢8m project to upgrade the electricity network in Driffield.

Northern Powergrid said it was in the process of a major refurbishment programme to replace critical national infrastructure in the town.

A spokesperson said the work would see ageing assets replaced with "more modern and capable equipment".

The company said the work was expected to last until summer 2024 but would not impact people's supply.

Carl Bandeira, from Northern Powergrid said: "Our 拢8m investment will improve, reinforce, and secure the electricity network in and around Driffield and supports our drive towards net zero as we plan for a greener future and preparing for future demands on the network.

"We would like to reassure customers that their electricity supply will not be affected throughout the improvement works."
