A fault on the SSEN network has left 1,168 properties without power across Wiltshire.

Over 1,168 properties across Wiltshire lost power on Sunday morning following an unplanned fault on the SSEN network. The blackout affected most of the SN10 postcode area, leaving homes and businesses without electricity.

Multiple villages were impacted by the outage, including West Lavington, Great Cheverell and Coulston. The power cut also affected Erlestoke Golf Course and the local sports centre.

SSEN advised that this type of fault may require extensive work and specialist teams to resolve. The utility company expected engineers to arrive at the scene shortly before 10am on Sunday.

The company aimed to restore power by 1pm, though the extent of the work required meant restoration could take longer than initially estimated.
