A burst water main is causing disruption in the east of Gloucester.

People are being urged to avoid the area.

A Severn Trent spokesperson said: “We would like to offer our sincere apologies to customers who are currently experiencing interruptions to their water supply following a burst on one of our larger water pipes on Barnwood Road, Gloucester, as well as anyone impacted by the current traffic disruptions this burst is causing.
