A BUSY city road has closed due to a water leak. 

Malvern Road has closed at the junction of Whites Road so that urgent work can be carried out by Severn Trent Water. 

First Bus have said that its 44 bus service will be unable to serve The Bull Ring and Malvern Road today, and will instead be diverting via Bromwich Road in both directions. 

The diversion is expected to be in place all day according to First Bus.

A message on the Severn Trent website said: "We're currently working to fix a general water supply issue at Malvern Road, WR2.

"Our repair work will start by November 14. Our team will be working hard to make sure it's fixed as soon as possible."

We have contacted Severn Trent for more information.
