Residents of a Doncaster street have been left without water this morning following a huge mains burst which has flooded the area.

People living in Truro Avenue, Wheatley woke up to find cars surrounded by pools of muddy water following the burst, which is understood to have happened in the early hours.

Footage shared on social media shows one resident attempting to clear the water using a plastic jug and decanting the liquid into a wheelie bin.

One said the street was without supplies and added: “I called the water company at around 5.45am and reported that there was a leak.
