The question for educators and academics is ‘why’ Fenland is 14th from the bottom of GCSE 2026 results, naturally individual schools scored differently, this is the national table.
I have not noticed any great drop in water pressure.

Thanks for your patience – we’re happy to say that your water supply should now be returning to normal.
In the next few hours, you might see us out and about doing some final checks. As part of those checks we might knock on your door and ask to take a water sample from your kitchen tap.
If you had no water from your taps for more than 12 hours in a row, we’ll be in touch within the next 20 working days. Read more here about your right to compensation under our Guaranteed Service Standards.
Cloudy water?
Cloudy water is something that can happen after an interruption to your supply, but it’s just air in the water. It’s completely safe to drink and will soon clear.
Discoloured water can also occur following a burst water main, caused by iron sediments which are stirred up. Rest assured, the small amount of iron in the water isn’t harmful, and the discolouration will clear after you run your tap.
Without prejudice.

The Planning Inspectorate will be holding sessions over 8 days.

As the country recovers from its fifth heatwave so far this year, Anglian Water is asking its customers in Fenland to protect water supplies and precious local rivers by only using water for essential purposes.
The water company has warned that without cutting individual consumption as much as possible, there is a risk that customers’ supplies will be affected after a spring and summer of successive heatwaves and exceptionally dry conditions.
The flows in the Rivers Nar and Wissey, which Anglian Water relies on to keep taps flowing across Fenland as well as King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, are at an exceptionally low level – some of the lowest seen at this time of year since records began.
