A widespread power cut has affected 746 homes in Dover this morning.

Homes in the Bunkers Hill Road area were a handful of those without electricity.

UK Power Networks said that at 9.13am a fault on the underground electricity network stopped supplies to 2,045 homes.

But power was restored to 1,299 properties by 9.15am.

All homes had the power back by 11.11am despite engineers being caught up in Operation Stack.
