A few days ago a broken water main was repaired in the Bradlaugh Fields area, after which the stream and several ponds which have been in Bradlaugh Fields for decades suddenly dried up. It is being suggested in some quarters that these streams and ponds were the result of a leak- which would necessarily have had to have been extremely long-running. I am not convinced.
I have been in talks with the Borough Council and have asked them to meet with Anglian Water tomorrow (Tuesday 29th) to raise my concerns, and the concerns of the Friends of Bradlaugh Fields as well as everyone who visits the wonderful open space there.
I expect some remedial action and will be intervening further on behalf of my constituents.
