Burst pipe, no water, so no ‘frying tonight’ at Wisbech chippy

A burst pipe flooded part of Wisbech last night, leaving at least one business forced to close today.

The Jolly Fryer at North End has been keeping customers informed but are hopeful it will be back to business as normal by Saturday.

“As many of you may already be aware, a mains water pipe has burst in Wisbech,” the shop posted on Facebook.

“We currently have no water. We do not have an estimated time frame for this to be back on.

“At the moment we are anticipating a later than normal opening. We will keep you updated when we have anymore updates

“Sadly, with no improvement to the ongoing water issues on North End, Wisbech and our shop without water completely: shop closed.”

A later post said: “We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused and hope to be open as normal, tomorrow (Saturday 10th Dec).

“As always, please use this page and this page alone for any reliable source to our opening hours.”

Anglian Water says customers in Leverington have also been affected by “very low water pressure or not water at all”.

It described repairs as “complex”
