Newspress Ltd in Old Crawley Road, Horsham, contacted the County Times today to report a ‘major power outage’.

A statement from the firm, which acts as a public relations agency for the motoring industry, said it had lost the use of its landline, but could still be reached by email and mobile.

All other services were operating normally, it said.
