Man Blocks in Water Company Van During Dispute Over Pipe Leak in English Town
A man in High Wycombe, England, filmed an altercation with a water company employee who he confronted to get running water returned to his home, which he said had been left without for more than 60 hours.
In his footage Chris Oxley can be heard saying that he asked the Thames Water driver to contact his manager after being told that there was no information about when the water pipes on the road would be fixed.
Oxley is also heard saying he has a nine-month old baby. His partner told the Daily Mail that she has been forced to drive 20 miles to her mother’s home to wash their baby’s clothes, bottles, food utensils, and has been unable to bathe her child for days.
Oxley told Storyful that by August 11 his street had had no water for 60 hours; that he had seen no workers; had received no further updates; and that he and his young family had run out of provided water.
Storyful has approached Thames Water for comment.
Oxley said he “forced the situation” and blocked the driver’s van in with his own cars. Oxley alleged the driver swore and made a gesture at him before calling the police.
Oxley said police arrived on the scene and advised him he had to move his car, which he said he did in further footage.
Thames Valley Police told Storyful: “We were called to a report of a public order offence yesterday morning. We attended and spoke to a number of individuals to resolved the matter peacefully.”
The UK is set to experience extreme heat between August 11 and 14. The Met Office issued an amber extreme heat warning for southern and central England until August 14, with temperatures forecast to rise to 37°C (98.6°F).
In a statement, Thames Water said it was planning to announce a temporary use ban on hosepipe use due to a long-term forecast of dry weather, as well as further forecasted heatwaves, in southern England. Credit: Chris Oxley via Storyful
