More than 250 homes in Bolton have been without electricity since yesterday, with engineers battling to restore their supply.
Electricity North West (ENW) says the outage has been caused by a fault at an electricity substation. The lights went out in an area of Tonge Moor and a free-of-charge food and refreshments van has been set up on the Food Shopper store car park on Crompton Way for residents.
A spokesperson said: "Yesterday morning, a fault at an electricity substation caused a power cut to 254 properties in Tonge Moor. We immediately attended the site to assess the damage and make repairs.

"Due to the nature of the fault, we are having to carry out safety checks and individual repairs at each affected property which is taking some time.
“Our teams worked through to 10pm last night and were back on site first thing this morning. We’ll remain in the area carrying out repairs so we can restore power as quickly as possible for each property as soon as it’s safe to do so.”
ENW says that power should be back on at all occupied properties by this afternoon. Any customers in the area are affected can speak to ENW teams on-site or call the company for free on 105 for updates, the company said.
