Power cut affects thousands of homes
10:08am Saturday 10th May 2008
THOUSANDS of homes in the Ribble Valley were left without electricity after a power cut.
United Utilities bosses say most of the 2,000 homes affected should now be reconnected after they were cut off for just over an hour at 1.20am this morning.
But 200 houses in the Whalley area are still without power as engineers work to fix the power station fault that sparked the problem.
A company spokesman said it was a "difficult" problem to fix and work could stretch into this afternoon.
