Northern Powergrid confirms loss of power in residential area of Harrogate was 'unscheduled'
Harrogate residents and businesses have been hit by a power cut this morning, Northern Powergrid have confirmed.
Streets around Skipton Road near Grove Road in Harrogate were left in the dark and struggling for an internet connection when the power failed at breakfast time.
Lasting nearly two hours from 8.30am, approximately, to 10am, it was fortunate schools such as Grove Road Primary School school had already broken up for the Easter holidays.
Northern Powergrid said the outage was not a scheduled one but an unplanned power cut.
But, they added, they had responded quickly to restore supplies to the area.
This is the second time in the last month that the same area has been hit by a temporary power failure.
