Busy road in Harborough town centre reopens after being shut for three days

A busy road in Market Harborough town centre has reopened to traffic today (Friday) after being shut for three days.

The stretch of Coventry Road leading off the High Street to the turn-off to the Commons car park by the Co-op store was closed early on Tuesday morning due to a water leak.

A Severn Trent Water works team backed up by diggers were drafted in to carry out emergency repairs to the leaking pipe outside the Baptist Church on Coventry Road.

A Severn Trent spokesman apologised to drivers for the “inconvenience” caused by the three-day road closure.
