A ROAD in a Herefordshire Town will be shut next month for roadworks, Herefordshire Council has said.

New Street in Ledbury, which connects High Street and Leadon Way, will be closed on September 12.

The council said the closure would be needed due to new service installation works and the likelihood of danger to the public.

Work will take place outside 6A New Street and traffic will be diverted via A449 onto the A417 and vice versa.
