POWER cuts have hit areas of Flintshire.
Scottish Power said on Tuesday afternoon that the power outages are affecting properties in the Holywell and Mold areas.
The company said "We had no advance warning of this and only became aware of it at 2.59pm.
"Our engineers are on their way to site to investigate and our team will work to get your power back on as quickly and as safely as possible.
"We expect the power to be restored by 5pm.
"Once they arrive, or when we receive any update regarding the cause, we will be able to provide you with more information.
"We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.”
