Power has been restored to properties in Tavistock, following a power cut at 8am this morning.

Around 58 properties were affected. This included many shops and cafes in the town centre.

A spokesperson for National Grid said customers were all back on supply at 2.05pm.

This followed the power coming back on and then going off again.

"The cause was a fault on a low voltage cable near a sub-station. By a process of back-feeding, supplies have been restored," said the spokesperson. "We apologise for any inconvenience this incident has caused."
