CHAPELFORD residents were hit by a power cut this morning, Friday, but the electricity is now back on after the problem was resolved.

Power was lost at around 1am and the problem affected about 30 homes in Savannah Place, Florida Place, Vermont Close and the surrounding area.

Energy supplier SP Energy Networks  confirmed that the power cut was caused by a fault on an underground cable.

Engineers on site worked to repair the fault and power was restored by about 11am.
