The incident was reported by Western Power Distribution (WPD) at about 5.30pm affecting properties in the Stirchley Road and Stirchley Avenue area.

WPD reported that the power cut was due to a blown fuse on the low voltage network in the area which they were "working hard" to resolve.

By 6.30pm engineers were working on the fault and power was expected to be restored at 9pm. It was restored ahead of schedule at 8.50pm.

Vulnerable customers needing any extra support during this power cut, have been advised to phone 0800 6783 105.

The WPD website says: "We are sorry for any inconvenience this is causing you."
