Flooding causes disruption on Fleetwood road as motorists urged to slow down
Flooding has caused disruption on a main road in Fleetwood this evening (November 12).
Large pools of murky water have formed along Broadway, with reports suggesting the flooding may be caused by a burst pipe.
The water, described by residents as “very dirty and grey”, has also spread down South Strand and The Strand, creating hazardous conditions for drivers and pedestrians.
A spokesman for United Utilities said: “We have a team on site following reports of a burst pipe.
“The flooding is now under control, and this is not impacting water services to customers in the area.
“Investigation work is currently ongoing.”
Locals urged motorists to slow down and take care, warning that passing cars are splashing people walking by and other vehicles.
The AA’s traffic map shows slight delays building in the area as drivers reduce their speed to navigate the water.
