A power cut in Falmouth left hundreds of properties without power for much of this afternoon.

According to Western Power Distribution, a power cut on Thursday (6th) around 2pm is thought to have affected nearly 350 properties in the TR11 and TR10 areas.

Businesses were also affected with Sainsbury's reportedly having to temporarily close.

A spokesperson for Western Power told Nub News:
