SHOPS and homes in the Marston area of Oxford were left without power on Saturday, after a contractor cut through an electricity cable in the road.
Sixteen properties in Cherwell Drive and Copse Lane were cut off at 10.40am on Saturday and another 32 properties were affected while engineers carried out repairs.
The work was completed by 4.15pm, said Southern Electric spokesman Louise MacKenzie.
