SGN have been working on emergency repairs in Barrack Road in Christchurch since May, but say it is likely to continue for a while yet.

The work at the junction of Barrack Road and Fountain roundabout has seen the concrete island covered in barriers while engineers do their work.

When asked what the nature of the repair work was, SGN would only say 'emergency repairs'.
