A group of neighbours feel they are being "fed excuses" in their search for answers after a large water pipe was damaged in Chilwell, flooding properties and forcing some to leave their homes. A Severn Trent water pipe was damaged by "third party contractors on a construction site building new student accommodation" near High Road, Chilwell, on Tuesday, March 7.
The damage led to a large amount of water bursting on to nearby streets and homes for hours - flooding the area with an estimated 1.2 million litres of water a minute. In a second residents' meeting held at Christ Church, Chilwell, on Saturday, June 10, those affected by the flooding had the chance to hear from representatives of the organisations involved in the incident.
Their statements were aimed as responses to questions raised at the first meeting on April 15 - over a month after the flooding occurred. But residents said they're still unsatisfied.
