Residents in Glasgow's east end are facing an afternoon without power due to an underground cable fault.

Engineers are currently on-site in the G40 postcode area, where they say they became aware of the power cut at around 9am. 

However, they have advised residents that work is taking longer than expected because of the additional resources needed to assist with the fault.

Resources have currently removed supplies to an additional customer on Tobago Street, Tobago Place and Mill Road to isolate the fault - but say it will not be restored until 4pm at the latest.

Postcodes affected: G402DR, G402HN, G402JR, G402LR, G402LU, G402RR, G402RS, G402RT, G402RW, G402RZ, G402SA

A statement read: "We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience."

It comes after over 20,000 residents in the city's north, west and south were left without water this morning due to a valve fault.
