Northern Powergrid has switched off power to over 600 homes in north Leeds and Otley whilst their engineers work on the cables and equipment.
In a tweet, Northern Powergrid said it hoped power would be restored by 4pm. In a separate, conflicting note, it said it was aiming to restore power by 9.15am.
The tweet read: “#Powercut is affecting LS16 8 & LS21 1 postcode area. We are expecting the supply to be restored by 4 pm. Report your power cut online to be kept updated.”
