Warwickshire village road blocked after wind brings down telegraph pole

MOTORISTS will want to avoid the road through Charlecote for at least the next few hours as it’s closed to traffic.

A telegraph pole came down in the wind and is over the Birmingham Road, close to the turning for Loxley.

The Birmingham Road, which runs between Charlecote and the A429, was blocked in both directions.

The Herald was told the pole came down at about noon on Tuesday (9th April) but engineers had yet to turn up to clear-up the road more than four hours later.
