A road in Nottingham could stay shut for another week after further damage was found following work to fix a collapsed brick sewer.

Part of Upper Parliament Street was closed to traffic on 23 July after Nottingham City Council said the damage was causing the road to sink.

The road was expected to reopen on Friday, but Severn Trent said its teams had "uncovered a further collapse to the same pipe further along on the street".

The water company hopes work will be completed by 16 August and apologised "for the disruption this will cause".
