Homes in Tunbridge Wells will be left without power for up to seven hours today, due to engineering works.

The outage is set to affect those in the TN3 9 postcode area between 9am and 4pm.

A spokesman for UK Power Networks, who are carrying out the work, said: "We're carrying out planned work in this area. For our engineers to carry it out safely they need to turn the power off.

"We will only do this work if it's essential to providing a more reliable power supply in your area. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience."
