Hundreds of homes are without electricity this morning after a huge power cut.
People living in the Wallasey, Bidston and Moreton areas of Wirral were affected by the issue which comes less than 24 hours after another power cut in the same area.
One woman said she saw "sparks coming off a power line" near to Bidston Station this morning and traffic lights in the area had stopped working. The woman said she got home to find she had no power and "burglar alarms were going off everywhere".
