A Northern Powergrid electrician working with electrical equipment
Seventy properties in York are without electricity today after a power cut in their area.
The power loss affected plans to prepare lunch and midday meals as Northern Powergrid intially warned it would take a couple of hours to resolve.
The utility company is reporting an "unexpected problem with the cables or equipment" serving houses to the south of Osbaldwick Lane, east York.
It initially hoped that work to repair the problem would be concluded by 1.30pm.
But later the utility company admitted that homes would still be without power until 3.30pm.
