HIGHWAYS chiefs have been forced to partially close Brook Street in Stourbridge's Old Quarter due to a dangerous sunken manhole cover.

The road is currently closed between Cross Street and Clark Street while repairs are carried out.

A diversion route is in place along Cross Street, Cleveland Street, Clark Street and vice-versa.

Access to frontages will be maintained where safe.

Brook Street is expected to re-open fully by tomorrow (Tuesday January 17).
