POWER has been restored to more than 100 properties that were affected after a powercut in Kidderminster this evening (July 29).

Western Power Distribution confirmed that power had been restored to all those affected by 7.50pm. 

Earlier this evening, the company said a number of postcodes in the Kidderminster area had been affected by the powercut from around 6.20pm. 

A spokesman for the company said that the powercut was due to a fault on the network affecting the area.
