206 homes across Broadfield, Tilgate and Pease Pottage have woken to darkness following a power cut in Crawley this morning (Wednesday, January 23).

Eleven postcodes have been affected by the outage with power expected back for many between 9 and 10am.

Power has returned to some homes in Broadfield.

The unplanned outage has been caused after an underground electricity cable faulted on a high voltage network, causing an area wide power cut.

UK Power Networks is offering support to those affected and are available from a mobile or a landline phone on 0800 31 63 105 or 105.
