Residents are now able to pay their water bills in hundreds of convenience stores across the county.

Thanks to a new partnership between Anglian Water and PayPoint, all customers of the utility company can pay their bills in cash or by card at any store which offers the provider's services.

Spencer Hough, head of billing and collections at Anglia Water, said: "We want to make it as easy as possible for our customers to pay their water bill.

"Introducing PayPoint will considerably increase the number of available payment outlets and we’re really pleased that this will give our customers more choice and convenience about where to pay their bill."
