MORE than 50 York homes have been hit by a power cut.
A spokesman for Northern Powergrid said five properties in the Foxwood Lane area had planned power cuts between 10am and 4.30 pm today to allow for work to take place.
But he said this work then resulted in an additional 50 properties experiencing unplanned cuts, which lasted from 11.47am until supplies were restored at about 2.30pm.
He added that the cause of the unplanned cut was being investigated and he apologised for any inconvenience suffered.
