HUNDREDS of householders were left without power after a sub-station caught fire in Thames Drive, Leigh.

The fire last night cut supplies to homes in an area which included parts of Leigh Broadway, Marine Parade and Thames Drive. Many were still without power this morning.

Firefighters from Hadleigh and Leigh were called to the incident around 8pm and discovered cabling on fire.

Essex Fire and Rescue is not treating the fire as suspicious and suspect recent maintenance work may be to blame.
