HUNDREDS of residents were left without electricity in Ringwood and Three Legged Cross due to a power cut.

A spokesperson for Southern Electric confirmed that engineers were on site to deal with the issue, which was called into them at 11.04am this morning.

Initially, it was reported to have affected properties in 55 different BH21 postcode areas and power was expected to be restored by 1.15pm.

This was updated just after 4pm to say that all supplies had been restored.
