A ROAD in Poole is closed due to a burst water main.

The leak at Sterte Road, which occurred overnight, is being dealt with by Wessex Water.

The leak is located between the turning for Sterte Avenue and where the road meets A350 Holes Bay Road.

Morebus have had to divert the number 10 service via Wimborne Road and Tatnam Road in both directions.

The utilities company have been on site since the early hours of this morning and hope to have the road reopened later today.

A spokesperson for Wessex Water, said: "The burst has now been repaired and we expect Sterte Road to re-open at around 6pm this evening.

"There has been no disruption to customers’ water supply, although a small number of properties may be experiencing low pressure.

"We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this essential work."
