A man is furious after he had to wash his disabled daughter at her grandma's house because he had no running water in his bathroom for two weekends.
Barry Ward had to take his four-year-old daughter, who has hydrocephalus or water on the brain, to his mother-in-law's in Worcester Park last Saturday after enduring a second weekend without running water.
The problem arose when a new set of taps were installed that reduced the water pressure, and despite a succession of visits from plumbers, the water pressure has not returned.
