Homes in the SO31 area of Bursledon have had power restored after a fault left several properties without electricity for over 24 hours.

Some 24 customers were knocked out by the outage, which began on June 9.

An engineer was on site for the majority of the day yesterday but by 4pm the issue was resolved.

The cause was identified as a fault on the underground network, which SSEN described as the most common type of issue they encounter.

A spokesperson for SSEN said at the time: "We're aware of a fault on our local network affecting several homes.

"The cause of this power cut is a fault on our underground network. This is the most common type of fault we see, and our teams are very experienced in dealing with these issues.

"This means that you and some of your neighbours will be affected by the power cut, but not all - this is why you may notice some of your neighbours have power when you do not."
