EXCITED youngsters have been running through a huge water leak in Andover town centre today.

One eye-witness told the Advertiser that water was shooting "40 feet" in the air in Waterloo Court, adding: "It's higher than the trees and buildings.

"I saw a few children shrieking and running through it earlier.

"I'm sure the local businesses aren't best pleased."

More to follow.

Thanks to several readers who have sent photos into the Advertiser this afternoon.
