UPDATE @ 15:00 – The road has now reopened.
York Avenue is to be closed today (Monday) from its junction with New Barn Road to opposite the Prince of Wales Public House, a distance of approx 491 metres in a southerly direction.

The diversion will affect these streets: York Avenue, Adelaide Grove, Victoria Grove, Beatrice Avenue, Saunders Way
Diversion route(s) will be signed at the time of closure. Reasonable facilities will be provided to allow access to adjacent premises while the road is
