Burst water main closes road in Stafford

Stafford Borough Police is helping enforce the road closure.

A spokesman said: "Please be aware that Newport Road, Stafford, is currently closed between West Way and Montville Drive due to a burst water main.

"The road is expected to re-open at around lunchtime this afternoon."

Motorists are also being urged to plan their journey beforehand due to increased traffic on the roads because of the widespread strikes on the rail network.
