WATER company Severn Trent is installing a new valve in Madresfield Road, Malvern, near its junction with Cotswold Road. The work started on Thursday, October 10, and is scheduled to last for two weeks.

Gareth Mead of the company said: "This work will help with the way we move water through our network; we’ll need to use traffic lights to keep everyone who uses the road safe while we carry out this work."

And in late October and November, the water company will be replacing various sections of old water mains that are prone to leaks and bursts in Malvern. More details will follow shortly.

This work is separate from the major water-main replacement project currently being carried out in Cowleigh Road and Albert Road North.
