A number of properties across Doncaster have been impacted

A number of homes in Doncaster have been left without water during the ongoing heatwave, a city MP has said.

Doncaster North MP Ed Miliband said that a number of properties in his constituency have been impacted - and he was chasing the matter with Yorkshire Water.

He said: “I have had many residents contact me from the DN5 area of Doncaster North, including Sprotbrough, Brodsworth and Hooton Pagnell, as they are experiencing ongoing issues with low water pressure and, in some cases, no water at all.

“I am aware that this is an ongoing issue for areas in DN5, and I know that many will be struggling with the lack of water, particularly given this week’s abnormally hot weather.

“If you need any urgent assistance, please do get in contact with my office at ed.miliband.mp@parliament.uk, and I will do what I can to assist as a matter of priority.

“These issues are unacceptable and need to be resolved as quickly as possible.

“I have contacted Yorkshire Water to call for them to take urgent action.

“I have asked them to investigate what is causing the issues, and to look at what can be done long-term to ensure a reliable water supply for this part of my constituency.

“If you are experiencing similar issues, please get in touch with my office so I can continue to press Yorkshire Water for answers on your behalf.

“I will continue to push for urgent improvements and will keep residents updated on this evolving situation.”
