Hundreds of homes experienced power cuts last night.

More than 700 addresses across parts of Dorchester and west Dorset, towards Bridport, were said to be experiencing issues. 

According to network SSEN, a fault was affecting 752 customers across 74 postcodes and an engineer worked late last night to restore power.

It was hoped the problem would be fixed by 2am.

The company apologised for the loss of supply.
