Coronavirus in England: Latest updates - BBC News
Bringing you the latest news from across England about the coronavirus pandemic.
Demand for water across the East of England was 20% above normal levels during May, Anglian Water has revealed.

Hand-washing to prevent Covid-19's spread may have further boosted demand during a dry, sunny month, it said.

May's drought compounded problems for farmers, already suffering after a wet February delayed seed germination, making some crops unlikely.

Anglian Water said: "An additional 200m litres of water was pumped to homes in May... roughly 20% more than normal."
