The water leak in Shrewsbury

Residents have been complaining about the water leak in Abbey Foregate since July.

The dripping under the railway bridge, near to the River Severn and English Bridge, has resulted in numerous complaints to Shropshire Council's online reporting tool.

One resident said on July 24: "Water has been leaking at quite a rate for several weeks into the footpath below the railway bridge. Looks either to be a sewage outlet or other leaking pipe. It is constant, so unlikely to be the drain from the property."
