ENGINEERS are working to restore power supplies to homes and businesses across two Peeblesshire towns this evening.

A power cut is affecting the areas of Peebles and Innerleithen following today's thunderstorms.

It is unknown as to when services will be restored, but engineers have been deployed to resolve the problem.

In a statement by SP Energy Networks on Twitter, the company said: "We are aware of a power cut in EH45, Peebles and EH44, Innerleithen. Our engineers are working to restore supplies."
