BUSINESSES in part of Stourbridge were hit by a power cut this morning (Wednesday April 26).
Addresses in the New Road/ring road area, including the Stourbridge News office, were among those left without electricity for about an hour.
Power company bosses estimated 44 properties were affected.
A "suspected blown fuse" on the local network has been blamed for the outage.
