TRAFFIC near a major roundabout outside Whitchurch has been slowed down courtesy of a burst water pipe.

One lane on the northbound A41 Heath Road has been closed and traffic is slow around the Midway Truck Stop services, on the Prees Heath roundabout towards Tilstock.

Road users are being warned to expect some delays because of the burst main which is pumping water across the road and is affecting traffic towards the town from the Tern Hill direction.
