Monday, 15 February 2021 11:53

The emergency road closure is due to a burst water main.

Leicestershire County Council Highways agreed to a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order for public safety.

It can continue for up to 21 days.

Severn Trent Water will now be able to repair a burst pipe.

A proposed alternative diversion route will be signed on site.

Access to properties will be maintained, however a short delay in gaining access may occur while the area is made safe.

Leicestershire County Council has apologised for any inconvenience caused during these works.
