MORE than 1,200 homes in Bolton were hit by a power cut this morning, Sunday.

Electricity North West engineers were sent to Westhoughton after 1,265 properties were left without power.

Power was restored to more than 1,000 homes but 239 were left without electricity for longer.

But Electricity North West has confirmed that "all supplies have now been restored".

A spokesman added: "Thank you to everyone affected this morning for bearing with us, we know power cuts are a nightmare and some of you have lost out on that extra hour in bed this morning! 

"Any issues, we're here 24/7."
