A busy slip road at a city centre junction is set to face closures for one day as potholes are repaired.

One lane on Old Northam Road will close between 9.30am and 3.30pm on May 12, shutting near the junction with Kingsway.

A letter sent to residents confirmed that a signed diversion will be in place and that vehicles should not be parked where "no-waiting" cones are set up prior to works beginning.

Any cars left next to these cones could be subject to removal.

While May 12 is planned for the repairs, dates may change depending on weather conditions.

If rescheduling is necessary, updates will be given via yellow 'advance warning' signs locally.

Refuse collections will remain unaffected, and large deliveries should be discussed with the on-site team.

Nearby properties may experience temporary disturbances and the letter sent to residents apologised for this in advance.

Anyone travelling in the city centre is advised to check these platforms for the most current updates and to plan alternative routes around the affected area.
