00:00Engineers are carrying out non-stop emergency repair works on a large burst water main in
00:06North London, which left a busy road under fast-moving flood water for several hours.
00:10Some properties on Caledonian Road, Islington, were flooded as water rushed along the street
00:16on Tuesday afternoon. Many lost their water supply and the electricity supply was cut off
00:21for safety reasons. Thames Water has apologised and said a large split in a pipe had been discovered
00:27in the water main, along with a significant underground void. The Thames Water Spokesperson
00:34confirmed that part of the road remains closed as water is being pumped away from the area
00:40so that work can begin to fix the main.
