Severn Trent Water will be working overnight on Chester Street, from September 12 to 13 between 8pm and 6am.

Shropshire Council says the work will involve contractors replacing a small meter within the road opposite Cambrian House.

Chester Street will be closed to traffic travelling in a northbound direction (towards Coton Hill) with a signed diversion route in place.

Severn Trent Water has agreed to employ a traffic management operative on site to assist high-sided vehicles through the closure.

Access to residential properties and businesses will also be maintained at all times.

The council says residents and businesses will be notified via a letter drop and advance warning signs will be erected on site two weeks before the work starts.
