ROADWORKS are set to close a village road for days.

Drivers in Chesham were warned about a road closure because of unplanned roadworks on Two Dells Lane in Ashley Green village after a burst water pipe.

Traffic delays were likely during the works, a traffic report warned.

The emergency road closure between Paddock Way and Ashley Green Memorial Hall started yesterday (September 22), and is set to last until Monday September 26.

A diversion will be in place as the water company Affinity Water repairs a water main.

Local people warned others to avoid the area by car and that the closure was caused by a burst pipe.

Affinity Water was contacted for a comment.
