ENGINEERS have been called to a power cut in Poole this morning.

Scottish and Southern Electric workers have been called to Parkstone Road where approximately 27 households are experiencing the outage.

The power was reported to the utilities provider at 11.20am, and the cause of the cut will have to be investigated.

A spokesperson for SSE said: “The power went off at about 11.20am. We have got engineers on their way to see if they can get customers back on as soon as possible. It’s too early to say what the cause was.

“We would certainly like to apologise for any inconvenience this has caused them.”

Residents have been told the power is expected to be restored by around 3pm.
