ALMOST 1,000 homes in the North-East were without electricity, following a power cut at the weekend.
At 11.14pm on Saturday, 969 homes in Hurworth Place, Croft, and some parts of Darlington were cut off.
Linda Robson, a spokeswoman for Northern Electric Distribution Ltd (NEDL), said: "On Saturday night we lost supplies to 969 customers in and around Darlington.
"The power was reconnected by 12.12am.
"We believe the fault was caused by cable damage and we would like to apologise for any inconvenience this caused."
