It’s a case of Monday misery for many Lancastrians as a power cut has left 16 homes without electricity.
Taking to Facebook, many posted about the power cut in Goosnargh, sharing their disappointment, with one person on Whittingham Lane saying they had heard a loud bang, while another speculated that a cable had been cut through.
The incident was first reported to SP Electricity NW at 11.53am today.
A spokesperson for SP Electricity North West said: “Earlier today at 11:55am, we received reports of a power cut affecting 1,188 properties in Goosnargh due to a fault on the overhead power network.
“We responded immediately and the majority of properties had power restored in under 60 minutes as engineers utilised remote technology.
“Teams remain on site carrying out permanent repairs and we expect power to be restored to the remaining 16 properties this evening.”
The power is expected to be restored by 8pm.
