AROUND 80 householders in the Springbourne area of Bournemouth have been affected by a power cut this morning.

At 8 am a fault was reported on the low voltage network. Power had been restored to around 50 homes by 8.35 am but almost 30 customers in the Stanley Road area are still without electricity.

A Southern Electric spokeswoman apologised for the inconvenience caused and said engineers were working to repair an underground cable.
