Fed up residents hold 'unhappy second birthday' party - for water leak
Fed up villagers have banded together to hold an 'unhappy' birthday party - for a two-year-old water leak.
Locals brought party hats, a banner and even a cake to commemorate the occasion and demand urgent action in the coastal village of Seasalter, Kent.
Despite consistent complaints to the water company responsible for the unwanted leak, it has flowed unchecked for two years.
Furious residents living on Church Lane in Seasalter complain the road becomes "lethal" when it freezes in the winter and is "an accident waiting to happen".
South East Water (SEW) previously told locals that nesting newts and tree roots were halting necessary repair works from getting underway.

00:12Mark, the Decorator in York, better than that, don't you?
00:16I know, come on Mark.
00:17I mean Mark's got that reputation of being one of the best Decorators in York.
00:20If not the best.
00:21But a 0 on 10 to the top, well, oh well, it's a good job he's not given us his turn name, is it?

01:15But then six years ago, I was helping a friend out with her business.
01:18I made her a spreadsheet.
01:19She didn't realise it was saving her 25 hours a month.
01:22And we were like, you know what, I can actually do that.
01:24£10 in, and you've got an account for £15 in.
01:27And then you create a box, which adds A1 plus B1, and it makes £25.
01:33I've got for anything beyond that, I struggle.
01:36Tom Butcher in Oxford, you love spreadsheets as well.
01:39Oh, I can't get enough of that.
01:41It's incredible, they've changed my life.
01:43And you gave up your job to pursue life with a spreadsheet.
01:47I did, I used to work in retail, and I used spreadsheets quite a lot.
01:51But then six years ago, I was helping a friend out with her business.
01:55I made her a spreadsheet.

02:02Maybe they might want to do it as a business.
02:13For me, this is like a big step in the right direction,
02:26in terms of education and aligning our budgets and services.
02:28Thank you both so much for talking to us.
