Neighbours in one area woke up to a loud "bang" this morning that left them without electricity.
Some residents in Banks reported hearing a "large explosion" across the village at 4.11am this morning (January 3) that left 124 houses without power. Electricity North West said they do not know what caused the noise but power supplies were removed from the homes during a "safety inspection".
After inspections were carried out by engineers "no damage" was found to the supply lines and power was restored at 11.41am.
