Oldham drivers have been warned that a key road in the borough will be closed for two nights next week again as inspections are carried out.

According to the council, the closures are "essential" to allow for "routine inspections and investigations of the King Street Roundabout Bridges" to take place.

The council has asked motorists to use alternative routes where possible.

In February last year, maintenance work on bridges at Waterloo Street and Wellington Street began and continued for just more than a year.
