Portsmouth City Council, Portsmouth Port, and Portico websites back online after UK heatwave damages servers

PCC reported their site was broken at 8.27am this morning.

It was due to the heatwave over the past two days damaging the servers which maintain the website.

Now though, it is back online.

A statement posted on Twitter said: ‘We are very happy to say, our website is now back up and running!

‘Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this morning.’

PCC had to apologise to residents when they could not access the resources.

They said: ‘We're sorry but our website is currently unavailable.

‘The servers that host the site were damaged by the extreme heat yesterday, and we're working with our provider to get things back up and running as quickly as we can.
