CHURCH Road in Netherton will be closed to traffic for a couple of days due to a water leak.

Highways chiefs have issued a temporary road closure notice for the road from today (Wednesday April 3) until Friday April 5.

The closure will extend from number 33 to 41.

Motorists will be diverted via Marriott Road, Cradley Road, Halesowen Road and vice versa.

The council’s highways department said the closure has been ordered to enable workers to safely fix a water leak.
