WATER is spewing out of a section of pavement after a water main burst in Fordingbridge.

The water leak is in Queens Gardens and a witness told the Journal that the tarmac pavement had been "forced upwards" and a "stream" was running down the road.

It is now set to be repaired.

A spokesperson for South West Water said: "A Bournemouth Water team is repairing a burst three-inch PVC water main in the footpath outside Queens Gardens, Fordingbridge.

"No customers are without water as a result of the burst, and we will complete the repair as quickly as possible."
