“Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks engineers are on site working to restore supplies, after a fallen tree cut power to local homes and businesses," an SSE spokesperson said.
They were alerted by customers at 8.56am — around about the time the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service were called out to a telegraph pole fire in Southford Lane, Whitwell, caused by a fallen tree.
