Road in York left seriously damaged after pipe-burst flood

A burst water main which flooded several streets in York has caused “significant damage” to the road surface, according to Yorkshire Water.

Salisbury Terrace remains closed while the 21in (53cm) diameter pipe and road surface are repaired following the incident on Sunday.

The Jubilee pub, which is currently being developed into flats, had its basement flooded and needed the water pumped out by North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service.

Developer Stuart Stagg said: “I heard a big bang and then I came out and it’s like we were already flooded.”

He expected initial repairs to cost seven to eight thousand pounds on top of any deeper repairs to the basement and building foundations, which he said Yorkshire Water would pay for.

“Everything happened so fast, it just started flooding in so quickly,” he added.

“Within 10 minutes I had 15 kids up on the scaffolding.
