"Despite a call to Anglian Water almost an hour ago indicating that a pipe had burst and was gushing out water with such velocity, there is still no on-site attendance from anyone at Anglian Water.

Bedford Today has contacted Anglian Water for comment – however, on its website, it said: “We are due to attend this location to investigate and repair an issue that has been reported to us.
