Homeowners in the 'Field' roads off Sharoe Green Lane are seeing their power go off for sometimes five minutes or sometimes five hours in the past week-and-a-half and for up to eight times in a single day.

Electricity North West say there is a fault in an underground cable which will be damaged in the area but they have been struggling to trace what is known as a 'transient fault'.

It is understood dozens of Fulwood properties are being affected at any one time by the power cuts-and not always the same properties. Postcodes affected are PR2 9RR, PR2 9SU, PR2 9TD, PR2 9HB, PR2 9SA, PR2 9RS, PR2 9SB and PR2 9RZ.
