A large hole in the road at the scene of a burst water main. The pipe can be seen.

I can see a very large JCB and lots and lots of Bristol Water staff next to this very, very large hole.

It’s very deep, so deep that the staff who are down the hole have their heads below the road level.

There’s no water to be seen here at the moment, but there was first thing this morning when it happened in the early hours.

We understand the water pressure is actually causing some of the pavement to be lifted here as well.

We’ve had council workers here as well as Bristol Water staff.

At the moment, we still don’t know when that water is coming back on.
