A FAULT at a substation has left 170 properties without power in Hindley Green.
The power has been out on Atherton Road and Thomas Street since 12.43pm but Electricity North West has got engineers on site with a generator and has said that the electricity will be back on soon.
Hindley Green Community Primary School and St John's CE Infant and Junior School have asked parents to pick up their children from 2.30pm where possible.
Power restored to some properties in Hindley Green but still 170 properties without. @ElectricityNW hope to have all power restored by 6pm
