United Utilities are to carry out emergency work on Sunday to repair defective electricity equipment in the northerly footway of Wash Lane, Bury, outside the Old Blue Bell pub.

A one-way system will be introduced on the section of Wash Lane between York Street and Moorgate. Traffic will still be able to travel in a northerly direction, but southbound vehicles will be diverted via Moorgate, Derby Way and Rochdale Road.

Work will be undertaken on Sunday to limit disruption to traffic and it is expected repairs should be completed in the day.
