Brentford High Street
Flooded Again!

Repair work has started on Wednesday mornings burst water main outside the O'Brien's Pub in Brentford High Street.

The High Street is now closed between Half Acre and Syon Lane, with access to the shops and residential properties only. The repair will take minimum 5 days.
