PARTS of Orsett and rural areas around it have been hit by a power cut, first reported around 11.30am today (Saturday, 19 July).

Parts of Stanford-le-Hope were also affected.

UK Power Network said its engineers were on the way.

A statement says: "An underground electricity cable has faulted on our high voltage network, causing an area wide power cut.

"We estimate your power will be back on between 1.30 and 2.30pm. We may be able to get some customers on sooner. 

"The timeframe may change and be extended depending on our investigations and the work involved to resolve the issue."
