A key road into Milverton has been closed over fears it could collapse.

A stretch of the B3187 into Milverton extending to the junction of Wood Street with St Michael's Hill has been closed after heavy rain caused subsidence.

The road had been under lights with a single lane closed, near High Park View. But the decision has now been made to fully shut the highway for works to be carried out.

It is understood works are now taking place to the road to stabilise it, with a scheduled completion date of November 13.

Somerset Council have been approached for comment but did not respond before publication.
