I reported this leak bubbling up out of the road almost a month ago now to Yorkshire Water and nothing has been done about it.
The girl assured me it would be attended to within 2 working days.

It's on the corner by the traffic lights where Forgemasters is opposite Jessops Riverside bisiness park.

How annoying is that? :mad:

Actually its BLOODY dangerous, especially if its near a roundabout (oil / diesel and water :nono: )

About time the council got their finger out of their collective bums.

i work opposite that - my work turn off is just before that but when i continue to on to get some snap from the petrol station its terrible especially on the motorbike!
But i cant see were the actually leak is or if the drains are blocked.

I've reported it as well! It's been going on for a couple of weeks now, and despite Yorkshire Water "work"men turning up twice to having a look, it's not been mended. Maybe it's going to be a feature:

Brightside Water Gardens - come on in, the water's lovely!

f_g, the water is bubbling up through a previous sunken patch or repaired tamac, pretty much in the middle of the road.

I'm apalled to hear I'm not the only one to report this, and still nothings been done :help:

Maybe it's time to phone the Star...

UPDATE!!! Men in a van in attendance, and some of them have shovels.

(obviously, only one man is actually shovelling, and the others are leaning. It's a start though).

Sheffield Forum... "Getting things done":thumbsup:
