Dozens of Kent homes are still without power after storm damage.

Three storms have battered the nation in the past week, including Eunice, which left 1.4million households without electricity last Friday.

UK Power Networks says 4,100 homes are still without power across the south east of England, including west, east and mid Kent.

Kent County Council's (KCC) deputy cabinet member for environment, Cllr Tony Hills (Con), said action was being taken to minimise the impact of extreme weather, but warned that is remains unpredictable.

He said: "It is like playing Russian roulette with flooding and storm damage. We do not know exactly where it is going to happen or when.

"Climate change is taking place, which I believe will make our weather more erratic."

Around 71,000 Kent homes were left without power during the height of Storm Eunice, which included several days of strong winds.

In addition, Rochester Esplanade was flooded after the River Medway burst its banks.

Many properties have been reconnected to their electric power supply, however not all.

Around 4,100 households in the south east still have faults, including 250 in east and mid Kent and 3,000 in East Sussex and west Kent.

Food vans are being run and hotel rooms offered for those who need it.

A spokesman for UK Power Network said: "Our teams are working hard to fix damage caused over the weekend, which resulted in power cuts particularly across the South East of England.

"Our engineers continue to work 24/7 to ensure that every single customer affected has their power restored as soon as possible.

"We appreciate how difficult it is for anyone experiencing an extended power cut, and have teams of customer support staff out helping customers at home."

It comes as the UK has committed to emitting zero carbon emissions by 2050.

KCC, who has pledged to reach net zero carbon on its own estate of offices and buildings by 2030, is one of many local authorities who have put out climate change action plans to tackle the global crisis.

Under this, more solar farms are being created to generate more renewable energy, along with wind farms and flood defences.
