A stretch of a busy and well-used route into Chester had to be closed due to a car fire this Wednesday morning (September 14).

The A540 Parkgate Road in Mollington was shut in both directions between the Texaco roundabout and the Townfield Lane junction, but has now reopened.

The fire in the vehicle's engine caused severe traffic disruption in the area.
