A water main burst in the appropriately named Reservoir Road on Thursday, July 24.

The road in Ruislip was closed for a few hours so that cars that were parked in it could be safely moved from the street.

Hillingdon Council then set up temporary traffic lights in the street to allow Affinity Water workers to fix the water main.

Ruislip Lido

The traffic lights remain in place and could affect families travelling to natural beauty spot Ruislip Lido which is accessed in Reservoir Road, this weekend.

Engineers from Affinity Water say their work is due to be completed by the end of Monday, July 28.
