Harborough town centre road closure warning to drivers

Part of Coventry Road in the town will be shut from next Wednesday, July 17.

The closure is being put in place for “public safety”. It is to allow Severn Trent to “undertake new water connection”, highways authority Leicestershire County Council has said.

It is expected to be in place for three days. The route will be shut to drivers between The Square and The Commons in the town.

A proposed diversion will be in place. This will take drivers via The Square, Northampton Road and Welland Park Road before re-joining the Coventry road – and vice versa.
