HOMEOWNERS have been left without power this morning in parts of Wareham and Wool.

Around 160 houses were believed to have been affected in the early hours of this morning – roughly 100 of which are now back to full power.

A spokeswoman for Scottish Southern Energy (SSE) said: "There was a power cut in the early hours of the morning affecting Wool and the surrounding areas.

"We have been bringing power back on in stages.”

It’s believed the remaining customers are at the Hillside Road area.

"We are bringing a generator to get them back onto supply and it will be connected imminently so everyone should be back up and running by 10am,” the spokeswoman added.

"We would obviously like to apologise and thank everyone for their patience."
