⚠️ We're sharing a video sent by @noo_nar1 showing a water leak on the footway in Sidbury, Worcester - it's been reported to @stwater to repair; a lane closure with a temp footway in the road is likely to be needed causing traffic delays. We'll carry out extra gritting here also https://t.co/ZoauBTupru
