FIRE and police officers have been re-directing traffic as they attempt to clear part of the Texaco garage roof.

Cars were being diverted through Rudbaxton while crews dealt with the piece of metal sheeting.

The fire service is understood to have been called because part of the forecourt canopy was loose, and police were called to make sure the area was safe and divert traffic.

The Western Telegraph understands that the area is now safe and has been re-opened to traffic.
