Engineers are currently working on a fault that has affected those living in North Walsham, Trunch, Felmingham and Bradfield.

The first report that power had been lost was at around 5.30am on Friday (March 13), and since then UK Power Networks has received 340 calls from locals.

Around 890 houses are currently without power in the NR28 0 postcode area.

"We are investigating a high voltage overhead electricity line fault which has caused a power cut," said a spokesman for the company.

"Engineers are now on site, carrying out investigations into the fault. Once they have completed their assessment, they will carry out repairs."

Engineers estimate the power should be back on by 9am.
