A primary school has been forced to close and hundreds of homes and businesses have been hit by a burst water main in Peterborough.

Pupils from Oakdale School, in Stanground, have been sent home as the school has no running water.

The main areas affected are Farcet and Stanground. Anglian Water say they hope to have supplies reconnected by 4.30pm this afternoon.
