PENHILL Drive is closed near to Deers Leap because of emergency roadworks.

Thamesdown Transport said all service 17 and 17A buses are being diverted via Cricklade Road, Grafton Road then left onto Penhill Drive.

A spokesman for the company said: "During this road closure, we regret that our service 17 & 17A buses will not be calling at the following stops: Deers Leap, Downton Road, Hilmarton Avenue."

Swindon Borough Council said: "The carriageway surface has broken up probably as a result of sub-zero temperatures a couple of weeks ago and the current wet spell."
