Water quickly swept along Coneygree Road today after it is believed a main burst near industrial units.

Part of the pavement ruptured sending water streaming into the road alongside Tipton Sports and Social Club.

Utilities company South Staffs Water is aware of the issue and workers are at the scene near Dudley Port.

Bystanders saw water flowing along the road at around 9am today.

It swept along the road covering pavements and into car parks of premises including the social club although it has not flooded the building itself.
