Busy side street off Ecclesall Road is closed off for 'emergency works'

Carrington Road in Greystones has been closed off, leaving cars parked close to its junction with Ecclesall Road unable to leave, this morning.

Signs in place say that the closure is in place due to ‘emergency works.’ Cars needed to access Ecclesall Road are being diverted down Onslow Road instead.

The work is being carried out by internet provider Openreach.

A spokesman said: “This closure is to enable engineers to repair an underground cable fault located in the highway and will be complete by 15.30pm today.

"We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused to road users.”
