A number of small roads in the Welshpool area will be closed later this month, including an emergency closure with 24-hour restrictions.

Powys County Council's Highways Department has announced that some minor roads will be closed in the last week of August to repair water mains and replace defective telegraph poles.

The biggest closure is along the C2006 by Berriew, near Welshpool. Powys council announced that the road will be closed as part of an eight-day emergency road closure until Wednesday, August 28.

The C2006 will be closed under a 24-hour restriction to make way for works by Hafren Dyrfrdwy, while they do works to a mains repair.
