Line fault

Emergency service down
A LINE fault has left subscribers in the Kinbrace area without their 999 emergency telephone service.
The problem, affecting some 88 lines, has been reported to BT and engineers are working to sort it.
They hope to restore normal service in the afternoon. A police patrol has been drafted into the area and members of the public, requiring emergency assistance, should call their nearest police station, meantime.

*A later report from Northern Constabulary states that the fault has been repaired.
