More than 2,000 homes without power in Cleethorpes

MORE than 2,000 homes across Cleethorpes have been plunged into darkness.
The first reports of the power cut were received by Northern Powergrid at 6.29pm, who said the outage was effecting properties across the DN35 and DN32 postcodes.
At just before 7pm, a spokesman for the firm tweeted: "We're aware of customers off supply in #Cleethorpes, staff are en route to site, updates to follow."
Among the streets affected were:
Barnett Place
Bramhall Street
Brereton Avenue
Carr Lane
Harrington Street
Johnson Street
The spokesman told the Grimsby Telegraph it was not yet confirmed what had caused the power cut, but it was thought to be a "wider area issue" relating to a cable fault.
He added that the first priority was to restore power, but it was not known how long this would take.
He said: "We would like to apologise to our customers for any inconvenience this has caused.
"We are doing all we can to resolve the situation as quickly as possible."
