BYGONES: Strike as 400 Birch Hill homes left without water A STRIKE by GMWU members in 1983 was beginning to cause water supply issues in the Bracknell area, as it continued into its second week. Over 400 homes in the Birch Hill area were without water, leaving residents queuing at road side standpipes to get water, and three local schools had been forced to close. Previously, 700 houses in Great Hollands were cut off when an 18-inch water main burst, the water authority then took the view that: ‘the size of the leak had increased the risk to public health to an unacceptable level’.
