Road closure on Front Street

Several road signs along the A696 approaching Frosterley warned that the road ahead was closed but giving no clue of where or how far ahead. It was a short distance from this location in the village centre - apparently a water main had burst. Work was ongoing on just one side of the road and so the need for a full closure wasn't obvious. A remarkable number of water company vehicles and personnel were on-site.
