National Grid apologised following today's work that was carried out due to a private sewer being struck.

"We apologise for the inconvenience people have experienced due to delays caused by this emergency work," said a spokesperson.

It resulted in congested traffic in all of the roads surrounding the Starting Gate roundabout, with vehicles backed up as far north as Moreton-on-Lugg on the A49.
