A burst water main which left a city street flooded was caused by ‘a third party,’ an Anglian Water spokesman has said.

Elter Walk in Gunthorpe was left under water last night (Tuesday) when the pipe burst.

While the main has been fixed, there are still large pools of water both on the streets and on parkland next to the street.

Cadent Gas are currently working in the area.
