Journalists at the Ipswich Star and East Anglian Daily Times were hit by a three-hour power cut this morning.

Phone lines, e-mail and the internet at the Archant-owned titles were down for three hours before a temporary generator was put in place.

A spokeswoman for UK Power Networks told website EADT24 that engineers were working to restore the electricity supply to two customers in Lower Brook Street, Ipswich.

She said: “Power was interrupted at about 10am today due to a fault on a low voltage underground cable. We would like to reassure our customers we are working as quickly as is safely possible to return their supplies to normal.”
