By Emma Philo Thu, 27 September 2012 12:17PM

Over a thousand people living in the Cowes and Northwood areas are without power.

Southern Electric says an overhead wire has come down in a field near Cockleton Lane in Gurnard.

Engineers are on their way and hope to have supplies back on later this afternoon.

Around 100 homes remain without power in the south west of Cowes after a wire came down in a field in Gurnard.

Southern Electric says most of the 1000 homes affected in Northwood and Cowes should now have their power restored after the fault near Cockleton Lane in Gurnard.

There will be another update for those still without power "mid afternoon", according to the supplier.
