Peter Edney, a spokesman for Severn Trent Water, said: “We currently have engineers working to fix a burst water pipe on the A442 near Crudgington.

“We have temporary traffic lights in place while we make the repair and we’re really sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

"We’re working as quickly as possible to get the pipe fixed and hope to have water supplies in the area back to normal soon.”
