Nearly 400 homes across the Norfolk Broads have been left without electricity after a huge power cut. 

Homes and businesses across Potter Heigham, Ludham, Repps with Bastick and Rollesby have been left without electricity, UK Power Networks has confirmed.

The power cut - currently affecting 388 properties - was first reported at 9.58am this morning and is believed to be the result of a fault with overhead cables often caused by high winds.

Engineers are currently on their way to fix the issue.

A spokesman for UK Power Networks said: "Specialist engineers from our control room are working to divert power remotely, so it's possible your power could come back on at any point.

"We can't always restore everyone this way. That's why we're also sending staff to the area to check our equipment.

"Every fault is different, so our time frames have to be estimated but currently we hope to have power back on between 11:30 and 12:30."
