TWO local primary schools have closed temporarily after a water main burst.

Lister Primary School and St Cuthbert & the First Martyrs' Catholic Primary are closed today due to a loss of water service to both schools, thanks to the burst.

Yorkshire Water are completing urgent repairs to the burst main on Lilycroft Road in the BD9 area of Bradford.

A tweet sent out by the utility company's help service apologised to customers in the area who may have no water or low pressure because of the burst.


Lilycroft Primary School, which is on the road where the water main has burst, has not had to close.
