Almost 800 homes were left without power after an unexpected power cut outside of Ipswich. 

Homes and businesses in Martlesham, Newbourne, Woodbridge and Hemley have been left without power. 

A statement on UK Power Network's website reads: "We became aware of this power cut at 3.55pm.

"We didn’t know in advance there would be a power cut, but now that we know, our teams will do everything they can to get your power back quickly."

Power was expected to be restored between 5pm and 6pm. 

However, 72 homes were still without power as of 7pm.
