A POWER cut across Darlington left hundreds of residents without electricity throughout Wednesday.
Around 140 homes were affected by the unplanned power cut in the DL1 postcode area after a problem was first reported at 8.30am on Wednesday.
Northern Powergrid teams working to resolve the supply issue continued to work until 5pm to restore power.
Northern Powergrid stated that issues with underground cables are behind the supply problem.
