THE Upton slip road from the A35 in Poole is currently closed due to a gas leak.

A diversion has been put in place and while Upton Country Park can still be accessed, there is no left turn into the park due to the ongoing closure, which was reported at around 11.30am.

Southern Gas Network engineers are onsite, although a spokesperson for Borough of Poole says that they do not know how long the road will remain closed and apologised for any inconvenience caused.

Updates on the gas works can be found by visiting Borough of Poole's Twitter and Facebook pages.
