A BURST pipe in Whittington has left residents without water this morning.

Seven Trent says that residents' water supplies should now be back on, albeit with poor pressure, which will contuinue until repairs are completed. 

The burst pipe on Ellesmere Road led to Whittington Primary School being closed today. 

A spokesman for Seven Trent said that most customers had their water supplies back on at around 8am. 

"We would like to thank all customers for their continued patience and apologise for the inconvenience caused," the spokesman added.
