The incident was sparked after two fuses blew in a local electricity sub-station.

They have been replaced but a team of engineers is now striving to track down and repair a problem with an underground cable, said Western Power Distribution.

The company warned that local householders face another temporary outage this morning when the fault is located and put right.
