Almost 900 homes and business in Coventry have been hit by a huge power cut. National Grid has reported that many properties in the CV4 and CV5 areas have been hit by the high voltage incident.

Latest indications are that 892 properties are without power but National Grid have said that engineers are working to fix the fault, which was reported at 3.30pm.

On the page, it states: "We are aware of this power cut incident which was raised at 3:30pm this afternoon and our engineers are working to get the power returned as quickly as possible. We are sorry for any inconvenience this is causing you." The estimated time for the power to be restored is 5pm.

It's happening more and more often I've noticed.

We had one in Spon End a couple of weeks ago which took the forum offline for several hours.
