An urgent road closure has been put in place after a gas leak was discovered.
The southbound lanes of Queens Drive, near Townsend Avenue in Walton, have been cordoned off as emergency engineers work to repair the leak, which was found after a passer-by reported smelling gas in the area.
An assessment carried out by Cadent, which manages the city region’s gas network, earlier today determined that action was needed "immediately to ensure everyone is kept safe". The closure is expected to remain in place for several days.
