HUNDREDS of homes in the Leeman Road area of York lost their power supplies because of an underground cable fault.
A spokeswoman for power company CE Electric said about 570 properties in Salisbury Terrace, Salisbury Road, Bromley Street, Jubilee Terrace, Bright Street, Albany Street and Balfour Street were affected.
She said the problem was reported at about 10.25 pm last night and the majority had their supplies restored by the early hours of today.
About 50 properties remained without power during the morning but it was restored to those homes by 1.40pm.
Delays in repairing the fault were caused by the need to bring in traffic lights to allow engineers to excavate the road so full repairs could be carried out. “We apologise for any inconvenience caused,” she added.
