Power has returned to the Chantry area of Ipswich after more than 70 homes were affected by a power cut.

Residents reported losing power in the area this morning - but said the issue worsened, with much of the IP2 postcode area affected.

According to UK Power Networks, 79 customers were without power.

It is understood power was lost due to a fault in an underground cable.

Power returned to the area shortly before 8pm.
