A number of homes in Ledbury are currently without power.

Western Power Distribution said 48 properties were off supply, mostly centred around New Street.

The company said it was made aware of the outage at about 10.30am today (Thursday, April 5) and said the cause was “third party damage” to the network.

“Our engineers are working to get the power returned as quickly as possible,” they said. “We are sorry for any inconvenience this is causing you.”

Western Power estimates that power will be restored by 3pm today.
