The online version of an English newspaper reports on a water leak in Great Blakenham that has been allowed to continue for months, despite business owners’ calls for action. The paper interviewed and photographed a shop owner pointing out the leak. He said he was told the leak could be fixed in one day. The utility confirmed this but said it needed permission from a nearby railway before proceeding. The railway stated it was aware of the issue but needs to review the situation.

Key Takeaways:

• Network rail needs to carry out checks but is unable to do so until they receive documents from Anglian Water.
• During cold weather the leak was dangerous because cars had to slow before coming up the crossing because the water was frozen.
• Great Blakenham business owners are very frustrated because a water leak has been an ongoing issue since last November.

“Business owners say they have been left in the dark over a water leak in Great Blakenham which they claim has been dripping for more than six months.”
