More than 2,000 properties in the York area were left without power for an hour during an electricity supply cut. The power cut, between 12.55pm and 1.55pm yesterday, affected 2,076 homes in the Wigginton, Skelton, Shipton-by-Beningbrough and Rawcliffe areas. A spokeswoman for NEDL, Northern Electric's distribution arm, said about 12 homes remained powerless during the afternoon. They were all reconnected to the power supply by 6pm. The spokeswoman said that the cut had been caused by a wide area overhead line fault.
