Emergency Repairs Cause Tailbacks In Market Harborough

Emergency repairs to a sunken fire hydrant are causing delays for drivers in Market Harborough.

Severn Trent Water is working on Springfield Street, close to the entrance to the Sainsbury’s car park, with temporary traffic lights replacing the normal signals at the junction.

Traffic has been building-up on all approaches and also within the car park itself.
