A STRETCH of a Lower Gornal road has been closed due to a water leak.

South Staffs Water has closed a section of Kennedy Crescent outside numbers 34 to 48 while repair work takes place.

It is anticipated that the work should be completed sometime tomorrow (Friday).

Motorists will be diverted via the other ‘arm’ of Kennedy Crescent and Stickley Lane.

Access to frontages will be maintained where safe to do so.
