Historic lamps not working on The Leas, Folkestone, due to faulty cable

Historic lamps that line a path which overlooks the Channel are not working due to a faulty cable.

The white Victorian cast iron lamps which are dotted along The Leas in Folkestone have not been working for more than a week.

Shepway District Council has commissioned contractor Amey to look at the damaged cable and are waiting for an update as to when power will be restored.
