POLICE have warned of busy roads around the Clent Hills and urged lockdown walkers to stick to exercising closer to home.

The Hagley and Rubery Safer Neighbourhood Team tweeted earlier today to urge people not to add to the traffic problem at the Worcestershire beauty spot. 

A spokesman for the neighbourhood team said: “Roads around Walton Hill Road, Clent are very busy. 

“If you do decide to leave your house for exercise please, stay close to your home address and avoid Clent Hills.”

During the last lockdown police issued similar pleas - urging people to avoid the area which is a popular destination for hikers and dog walkers from Birmingham and the Black Country.
