Frustrated residents in a Nottinghamshire village have compared their road to a bog after water work repairs were delayed. People living in Massey Close, Burton Joyce said water had been spurting out on the A612 near its junction for more than a week.
Severn Trent Water was supposed to carry out a valve renewal on Tuesday, May 17, but were unable to start due to delay. However, signage was still in place during the morning, with one commuter reporting a one and a half hour wait to Nottinghamshire Live due to the temporary traffic lights.
Barbara Bellamy and George Blatherwick, who live in Massey Close said: "We went to Nottingham on the bus the other day, the grass was like a bog. At night you can hear children playing in it, so they are enjoying it." The retired couple said equipment and repair vehicles had been parked up on the close before unexpectedly leaving.
