MORE than 1,000 customers are currently without electricity following a power cut this afternoon.
Scottish and Southern Energy Power Distribution (SSEPD) has confirmed that around 1,200 customers are without power following the power cut at around 1.30pm.
Areas across Basingstoke affected include RG21, RG22 and RG25 postcodes.
It is hoped that power will be restored at 3.30pm.
A spokesman for SSEPD said: “We apologise for any inconvenience and disruption but we think it might be third party damage to a cable and we are currently investigating the reports which were received at half past one.”
