A NUMBER of properties in York were affected by a power cut this morning (August 14).

Northern Powergrid said 11 properties in the YO24 postcode area were affected by the outage. It originally predicted that as many as 100 properties could be without power until it could confirm otherwise.

A spokesman for the company said the outage was due to a fault on an underground electricity cable.

Power was restored to the properties by around 10.45am.
