The owners of Greenacres Farm have asked that the following be posted in respect to the flood of separated water on the afternoon of Friday 24 March 2017:

Dear Kingsley Village,

I should like to apologise on behalf of all at Greenacres Farm for the flood this afternoon. The police, the Environment Agency and Highways were informed immediately of the incident and the fire service is now in attendance to aid clearance. The flood is what is known as "separated water" which has been separated from the cow's "slurry" or "manure"; it is not human sewerage; separated water is commonly used for irrigation and natural fertillisation of pasture and crops grown for both animal and human consumption. Once again, we do apologise and assure everyone that we are assisting the authorities in their remedial actions.
