'Complex' sewer repair work could take another week

Work to repair a collapsed brick sewer underneath a Nottingham city centre street is to continue into August.

A section of Upper Parliament Street was closed on 23 July after the city council said the damage was causing the road to sink.

Severn Trent said the day after that repairs were expected to be "deep" and "complex".

The council has now said its permit for the work was being extended at Severn Trent's request to Friday 8 August.

It said the road would remain closed for safety until work had been completed.

A Severn Trent spokesperson apologised for the inconvenience caused, and said: "We know that this is disruptive and will be working hard to have everything back to normal as quickly as possible."
