HELLO and welcome to our Monday afternoon traffic and travel report.

Traffic is still slow and partially blocked due to a burst water main on Foregate Street both ways at Sansome Street in Worcester city centre.

A449 Castle Street between A38 Foregate Street and Grand Stand Road (Worcester Racecourse) is also more congested than normal.

An earlier broken down vehicle on the M5 northbound between junction 8 M50 and junction seven A44 (Worcester/Evesham) has meant one lane remains closed.

While all lanes of the M5 southbound have re-opened after three were closed due to a broken down vehicle between junction eight M50 and junction seven A44 (Worcester / Evesham).

One lane is closed due to a broken down lorry on M5 northbound between junction 6 on the A449 / A4440 Warndon Way / A4538 Pershore Lane (Worcester) and junction 5 on the A38 (Droitwich / Wychbold).

Traffic is coping well, though lane one of four is closed.

The lorry has an issue with the brakes.
