According to UK Power Networks, power should be back by 3.30pm.

Engineers are currently on site in the area and are investigating the fault.

A spokesman for UK Power Networks said: "You may find your power is going on and off, that is normal for this type of issue and is due to our engineers working to divert power remotely.

"By doing this, we've managed to restore power to 1,195 customers.

"There are now 44 properties still affected."
