PART of the busy Hagley Road at Hayley Green, Halesowen, will have a reduced speed limit while works to replace a watermain take place.

A temporary 30mph speed limit will be in place from Monday April 10 to Monday May 1 on the A456 Hagley Road.

The restriction will be on the eastbound carriageway near to Lutley Lane.

Highways chiefs say the speed reduction from 40mph to 30mph is necessary to ensure work to replace a watermain can be carried out safely.
