Nearly 1,000 homes were without power near a Norfolk market town yesterday (December 27). 

UK Power Networks said 972 homes were without electricity between Swaffham and Little Massingham. 

It is believed the power cut was caused by a high voltage overhead electricity line fault. 

In Fakenham just over 100 homes were without power after a similar incident. 

UK Power Networks were investigating both faults and the power returned last night.
