Hundreds of homes were left without power in a Fenland town yesterday after an "unplanned" outage.

UK Power Networks confirmed it was trying to restore power to more than 300 properties in March on September 4 after an incident involving a "third party".  

One resident said they were left without power for 90 minutes before it was restored. 

A spokesperson told Cambs Times: "UK Power Networks engineers were called to March, Cambridgeshire at about 13:48 pm yesterday after an overhead line was brought down by a third party.

"Power supplies to 313 customers were interrupted and restored in stages, with the final customers being restored by 15:06."
