Abbeyfield Primary School in Pitsmoor is opening at 10am because of a water shortage which has hit homes and businesses in the S2, S3 and S4 areas of Sheffield.

Yorkshire Water sent text messages to some customers advising that the shortage and low pressure was due to a burst.

The company warned that the water could be cloudy or discoloured once restored.
