North Street Cables Cut Disrupts Local Shops | Bristol News

North Street in Bedminster, Bristol, hit hard Sunday when electrical cables were cut—police call it criminal damage. Shops lost card payment ability, forcing cash-only transactions and leaving customers stranded with unpaid purchases or items left behind. Some businesses like Parsons Bakery adapted with backup tech, but others were shut down entirely. Repair crews are working to restore systems, while police urge anyone with CCTV footage from Sunday morning to come forward. It’s a stark reminder of how fragile our digital commerce infrastructure is—and how quickly it can disrupt local economies.
