nottinghillbilly and Sherwood - I totally agree, I have had to time my walking past there to avoid getting soaked. I had engaged with Thames Water via Twitter and was told that it was a private leak and they were in communication with the property owner. I have also raised this with the Council's highways team in the hope that they can escalate. As of today there are some Thames Water vehicles at the site, and part of the road is closed off, so hopefully it can be resolved - although it should not have taken this long for something to happen!
