Homes have been left without electricity after a power cut in Buckinghamshire.

Residents in parts of Chesham and Latimer were left without power after an unplanned outage on Wednesday, December 27 at about 8.15pm.

UK Power Networks customers in HP5 1 postcode area were affected.

The provider said: “We’ve had to turn off power in your area so our engineers can safely carry out emergency repairs to the network.”

UK Power Networks could not yet estimate when the power will be back on.

The outage came after Storm Gerrit brought windy and rainy weather up and down the country.
