HOMES in Worcester and Droitwich have been without power this evening.

The power went out in the WR3 and WR4 area of Worcester, in Blackpole and Brickfields, just before 8pm and was off for an hour.

Homes in the WR9 postcode, in Droitwich, were also without power. 

The power was restored just after 9pm and Western Power Distribution apologised for the inconvenience.

The provider tweeted: "Supplies are now restored in #Worcester #WR9 & #WR4 areas. Thank you for your patience and sorry for the inconvenience."
