A ROAD closure outside a Malvern high school has rerouted buses.

Yates Hay Road, outside Dyson Perrins Church of England Academy, closed yesterday (Sunday, January 15) due to Severn Trent Water utility repair and maintenance work.

As a result of the closure, buses from Leigh Sinton Road will be able to leave by the red gate onto Yates Hay Road, but will not be able to exit right to rejoin Leigh Sinton Road.

Access to the school will now be diverted to the silver gate, with parents advised to drop off their children further away.

The bus service also apologised for any inconvenience caused.
