Via GB News, Yorkshire Water has imposed a hosepipe ban following the region’s driest spring in 132 years:

Locals have expressed their anger to the People’s Channel as the weather remains hot, and they are unable to complete tasks such as cleaning their cars, watering their gardens, filling domestic pools, and cleaning their windows.

They have accused Yorkshire Water of not fixing leaks, poor management of reservoirs and charging the public too much.

John Fleck told GB News: “It’s just another company charging us more and providing us with less, which seems to be a trend at the moment.

He added: “Other countries, much warmer than ours, somehow always seem to manage, but then in the UK, leaks are often left unfixed for weeks. The reservoirs aren’t looked after, and we seem to go full circle between flooding in the winter to hosepipe bans in the summer.”
