There are traffic delays on Stamford Road due to a burst water main near Easton on the Hill.

Anglian Water says following the work they did last week, the water pressure has caused it to burst again.

Temporary traffic lights are now in place at Porters Lane.

In a statement the company said: "Because this is a high priority area for us after the issue last week, our teams have worked quickly to restore water by pumping it into the network directly using tankers."

"We’ll continue to keep the affected area supplied that way until our repair work is done which should be around 1pm this afternoon."
