TELEGRAPH poles broken by a falling tree caused a road to be partially closed on Sunday.

The poles, located in the woods by Green Lane in Mistley, were broken after a tree fell.

UK Power Networks attended the scene to replace the telegraph poles, necessitating electric power to be supplied to nearby houses by temporary generators.

Mistley Parish Council confirmed Green Lane will be fully reopened on Wednesday.
