MOTORISTS have been warned that an Upper Gornal road will be closed next week while a water leak is fixed.

While the water supply pipe is fixed, Vale Street will be closed between the junctions with Hill Street and Moden Hill.

Work will take place between Monday, February 27 and Wednesday, March 1.

A diversion will be in place via Hill Street, Clarence Street, Moden Hill and vice-versa.

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