A BURST water main in Foregate Street, Worcester, at its junction with Sansome Street, reported about an hour ago, has meant that traffic was slow and the road was partially closed.

Elsewhere in the city, queues have been reported on the A449 and on the B4636 Newtown Road.

On the M5, one lane is closed and traffic is slow due to a broken down vehicle on the northbound carriageway between J6 (A449/A4440 Warndon Way/A4538 Pershore Lane and J5 (A38 Droitwich/Wychbold).

On the railways, one service from Hereford to Paddington, leaving Foregate Street at 7.28am, was cancelled due to engineering problems, but no other delays are reported.
