A spokesman for Thames Water said: "We are currently working on a burst water pipe which is causing some customers to experience low pressure or no water.

"Our teams are working hard to repair a burst in Lower Road and Hawthorn Place, DA8."

Thames Water expects water supplies to be back to normal by 10.30am.

Routes 229, 469 are diverted in both directions following a closure in West Street.
