Part of the fault was identified as a burnt out cable at the top end of Grove Road outside the former police station.

Workmen had to dig up the pavement and make urgent repairs to avoid any further power cuts and contractors also dealt with another underground electricity issue in Terminus Road.

Power was eventually restored mid-afternoon.
