A Severn Trent spokesperson said: "We're sorry for the ongoing disruption on St Mary's Road, which is due to a burst water pipe. To keep our teams and the local community safe, we have had to close a section of the road.

“Our teams are working as quickly as possible to get everything back to normal, and we want to thank everyone for their patience while we make these essential repairs.”

The water provider could not confirm when the road will be reopened.
