A major project to replace three miles of aging metal water pipes in Market Harborough with new plastic ones has begun today.

Severn Trent Water is working under the railway bridge on Rockingham Road, which is closed to traffic for up to a week.

Engineers are digging trial holes to determine exactly which route the current pipes take, ahead of the main part of the renewal work starting in April on Kettering Road.

Once the work reaches the bridge in August, the road will be closed again for seven weeks.
