“I remember when the water main burst in Hook Road and created chaos. It was in April 2016. The cellar of the Lucky Rover pub was very nearly full of water and had to be pumped out. Residents of Cecil Close, which is in a slight dip, woke to find water up to knee level, pouring down the road at about 1.30 in the morning. A woman who lived at the far end of Cecil Close went into labour and firefighters had to collect her in an inflatable boat. Luckily, nobody was hurt.”
