HOMES in Hereford have been left without power this morning after a "suspected blown fuse".

UPDATE 9am: National Grid says power has now been restored in the area.

People living in the HR4 area of the city have been left without power after a power cut hit. 

National Grid is aware of the power cut, which it said is a low voltage incident. 

"These incidents tend to be smaller, more localised and could be why some of your neighbours still have power," National Grid said.

The postcodes known to be currently affected are HR4 7LD, HR4 9NE, HR4 9NH, HR4 9NU, HR4 9NW.

National Grid said engineers are on the way to deal with the incident, which is believed to be due to a "suspected blown fuse" on the network.

Around 74 homes are currently without power, National Grid said.

The power is expected to be restored by 11am today, February 21.

The network provider said the power cut was reported at 7.35am this morning 

"Our engineers are working to get the power returned as quickly as possible," a spokesperson said.

"We are sorry for any inconvenience this is causing you."
