A BURST water main has left homes and businesses in a New Forest town without supplies.

Taps have run dry in several parts of New Milton, including the Queensway Industrial Estate, following the burst at Stem Lane.

Families living on the Crest Estate say their water pressure is "very low".

Posting on social media one person said: "Water pouring down Queensway. Water pressure low on Chatsworth Estate."

A spokesperson for Bournemouth Water said: "We’re aware that some customers may be experiencing lower pressure than usual or a loss of supply due to a burst water main in Queensway.

"Our team are investigating and we will provide an update as soon as we can. We would like to thank you for your patience and apologise for any inconvenience caused."

There are also issues in All Saints Road, Lymington this morning due to another burst water main.

This is also being investigated.
