A Leicestershire County Council spokesperson said: "An emergency road closure is required on Mill Street for up to 21 days, but it is hoped the repair will be completed within three days.

“The order will be implemented for public safety so Severn Trent Water can repair a significant water leak.

"An alternative diversion route will be signed on site.”
