Hundreds of homes in Keighley and Oakworth were hit by a power cut earlier this afternoon.

Northern Powergrid confirmed that the outage hit a total of 2,140 properties, including premises in the BD21 and BD22 areas, as well as more buildings in the BD8 part of Bradford.

A Northern Powergrid spokesman said the problem was first reported shortly after 1pm.

He added that engineers had been working hard to fix the fault, and that power to affected homes should have been restored by about 2.15pm.

Northern Powergrid has advised any householders and businesses still experiencing problems to try resetting their trip switches, or to contact the company for help.
