The closure will remain in place until the 13th. Last time I checked that was two days ago. 🙄
18th, it was a typo now fixed.
Put some soap and disinfectant in it and give the place a good scrub
There’s been a mains water leak up grange rd Ramsgate for wks , and probably will remain for wks to come , 1000s of gallons just wasted.
South Eastern Road and Wilfred Road Ramsgate too.
Thank God it is not a gas leak. Three days for water. It would be at least three weeks if it was gas.
Omg, shut all roads to margate, another water leak, look at the bright side they will add the cost of loss of water and repairs to our bills.
King Street is not closed. But with scaffolding up,it is causing disruption. Especially with Southern Water dumping their vans in ridiculous places. Just add a little time for your journey.
Southern water and their shoddy contractors should fix the leaks PROPERLY as they always leak again 3 weeks late.In fact weren’t they in the same spot last year.They have the nerve to issue a hosepipe ban and tell us to save water pfft jog on how about instead of paying the boss 2million a year and the shareholders fat dividends,put it into renewing the crumbling infrastructure…just a thought!
On this occasion I reported this myself on Tuesday night at 9pm to southern water the work was completed today Wednesday the trouble is this water was running down marine gardens for four days people thought it was rain it’s best to get it checked but people can’t be bothered to phone the company I reported the two before it too the water company the works were done very quickly getting it done quickly saves us all money on our bills we’ve had a lot of rain as well that could contribute to the problems many of mains in Thanet date back for years very old. No excuse do your bit to help these situations instead of moaning how inconvenient the work is that’s important.
