TWENTY properties in Llandrindod Wells’ main shopping street have been left without any power.

An underground cable fault knocked out the electricity supply to Middleton Street at 9am this morning.

Western Power Distribution, the electricity network operator, has said its engineers are now on site and it estimates power should be restored by 5pm.

A spokeswoman said: "We are doing some excavation work to repair the fault, so it is obviously taking a little longer, and we would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused."
