A ROAD closure that came into force in a Herefordshire town yesterday (November 4) is causing slow traffic and delays.

Herefordshire Council has said that Church Street in Ledbury will remain closed for three days, reopening at midnight on November 7.

The council has said delays are likely in Ledbury town centre, with Google Maps showing slow traffic in the areas around Church Street as of 4pm today.

The road has been closed by Welsh Water to install a new stop tap.
