More than 800 homes have been affected by two power cuts in West Cumbria.

Electricity North West confirmed 837 properties have been affected by a power cut in Flimby, which happened at around 3.45pm.

In a separate incident, 38 homes around Newlands Gardens, Workington, are also without power.

A spokeswoman for the company said both incidents were due to faults to underground cables and engineers had been sent out.

The Workington fault was repaired by just after 4.30pm.

All but 20 of Flimby and Maryport properties had power restored by 4.40pm and the remaining properties were expected to have power by 9pm or earlier.
