A road in Thetford had to be cordoned off earlier today because power cables had fallen in the stormy weather.

At just after 9am police received reports that live power cables had fallen onto Castle Lane by winds from storm Eleanor.

The road was closed by police while they awaited UK Power Networks to attend.
