A busy road which runs through Saltney has been shut due to flooding this afternoon (Friday, March 16).

A pool of water has submerged a stretch of Boundary Lane near Woodall Avenue.

Footage submitted by Chronicle reader Richard Parry shows water pouring on to the road surface from the drains.

A spokeswoman for North Wales Police confirmed the incident was reported to them shortly after 11.30am.

The flooding is understandably causing issues for traffic in the area.

A spokeswoman for Dee Valley Water said: "We have sent an inspector out. It appears the problem is with a Welsh Water sewer pipe."
