AS MANY as 1500 households in Cirencester and on the outskirts of Swindon are currently experiencing a power cut.
At 2.45 Southern Electric recorded a message for customers to let them know that there had been a fault on the main network which had caused the loss of electricity.
Engineers are on the way to fix the problem and are expecting the power to be back on at around 4.45pm today.
