HUNDREDS of properties in Newton-le-Willows have been hit by a power cut.
The outage was first reported to Electricity North West at a 10.13 am on Wednesday, June 3.
There are 296 properties affected by the power cut, which is due to an unexpected incident with an underground cable.
An estimated restoration time remains under review, according to the Electricity North west website.
In a statement online, Electricity North West said: "This power cut has been caused by an unexpected incident with the underground cable that provides electricity to your home or business.
"We didn't know before your electricity went off that this was going to happen but now we know, rest assured we will get your power back on safely and as quickly as possible.
"Please note that all our timescales are estimated based on previous experience and may change if new information becomes available while our engineers are fixing the issue.
"With underground power cuts, we may need to dig to repair the cable and this can sometime extend the length of time you are without power."
