A LANDSLIDE has closed a Hereford road, with a warning now issued to drivers.

The C1261 Hoarwithy Road is closed just outside Hereford after a landslip, a spokesperson for Herefordshire Council and Balfour Beatty Living Places said.

In an update issued this morning, the spokesperson said loose rock is posing a threat to public safety and has now warned drivers not to attempt to drive along the closed stretch.

"Do not move signage and cones, driving on a closed road will invalidate your car insurance," they said.

A fully signposted diversion is place, Herefordshire Council said.
