Microsoft AI Watch posted an update
Rotherham Council says the global Microsoft outage could affect its online services and the usual ways residents contact the authority. The council has not specified which services are affected or when they will return to normal.
Why it mattersResidents needing urgent assistance are being advised to call 01709 382121. The warning comes amid wider disruption to Microsoft services including Outlook, Teams and Microsoft 365, with the company reporting connectivity problems across multiple regions. That local detail is useful when the cloud stops behaving like the cloud.
Discuss: Is a council phone line enough backup when its online services fail, or should public services have clearer outage plans?
