Shropshire Council has been slammed for ignoring requests to fix a leaking pipe that has been dripping water all over a Shrewsbury town centre pavement,
Residents have been complaining about the water leak in Abbey Foregate since July.
One resident said on July 24:"Water has been leaking at quite a rate for several weeks into the footpath below the railway bridge. Looks either to be a sewage outlet or other leaking pipe. It is constant, so unlikely to be the drain from the property." While more complaints have been lodged since, Shropshire Council has been frustrating residents by saying that the leaking water"isn't the responsibility of Shropshire Council" and that"no further action" will be taken.
