Pebsham blacked out by power cut

The 10pm cut affected homes from De La Warr Road into the southern part of Pebsham.

An EDF spokesman said the problem was caused by a fault in an underground cable.

"EDF Energy Networks engineers restored supplies to more than 1,000 customers at about 10.45pm and to the remaining customers in stages, with the last restoration to just one customer at 12.27am today.

"We apologise for any inconvenience. The cause of the fault is being investigated."
