AROUND 1,200 homes were affected by a power cut on Sunday morning.
The cut affected supplies in the Ferndown, Wimborne, Redhill and West Parley areas.
Scottish and Southern Energy had engineers on the site for much of the day working to locate the fault.
They re-routed supplies, restoring power to hundreds of addresses in the early afternoon but leaving 500 still affected.
It announced all homes had their power back at around 5pm.
