Anglian Water apologised this afternoon after a leak in the Lynn Road area of the resort cut off water to some homes and reduced supply pressure to others.

'We're really sorry but some customers in Hunstanton may have very low water pressure or no water at all,' the company said on its website.

'This should be by 9pm today but we'll update this message if anything changes.'

It added when water comes back on, people should run their taps if it is discoloured until it clears.
