MORE than 150 postcodes in the PO35 and PO36 areas have been left without power this afternoon (Tuesday).

The power in Bembridge and Yaverland homes has been out since 12.30pm.

A spokesperson from Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) said: "We’re sorry for the loss of supply. Our engineers are on site working hard to get the power back on as quickly as they can.

"If you need more information, please call us on 105 or send us a message on Facebook or Twitter (@ssencommunity) and quote reference 'FA2147'."

The power is expected to be restored by 3.30pm.
