People in West Cumbria have been left without electricity today after separate power cuts across the area.

Sixty properties in Workington have no power due to an underground cable fault on Stainburn Road.

An Electricity North West spokesman said the problem was not weather related.

The power went off at 9am and was restored by 3pm.

In Aspatria, lightning struck overhead lines this morning, affecting seven customers.

Their power was restored between 2.30pm and 3.30pm.

Electricity was also out for a few hours in Pardshaw.

It was back on at about 11am.

The cause of that outage was not know.
