570 homes hit by early-morning power cut

ALMOST 600 homes suffered a brief breakfast time power cut.

Northern Powergrid said an “unexpected problem” with cables or equipment had caused the cut for properties in the S60, S61, S62, S30, S35 and S36 areas at about 7.50am.

But engineers worked quickly and the power was back on by 8.10am.
