Some 100 properties in Margate are without water or experiencing low pressure this morning (August 20) due to a burst water main.

  1. It could have with that giant crane it depends how deep in the road the water pipes are. When they left they put up mesh high portable railings that anybody can lift out instead of putting back the wooden hoardings with art on it. The site could easily vandalised or set fire to by idiots or gypsies pulling in during the night.
