User Comments

Water has been leaking underground at Manor square RM8 for months but the company has done nothing about it. This is causing subsidence to the houses in the area.

The drain in Ormond Road Gt Yarmouth next to the Lacon Arms Pub has been blocked for over a year and has been reported before.
