HOUSES in Southampton were left without power this morning after a faulty fuse tripped last night.
Engineers from SSE, formerly Scottish and Southern Electric, were called out to Bassett Green after firefighters were called to the scene.
Initially there were reports of a fire but a crew from Eastleigh discovered that it was a faulty fuse which kept tripping.
Power to 16 homes in the area was set to be restored this morning.
A spokesman from SSE apologised for the loss of service and added “thank you to everyone affected for your patience”.
