A FUEL spillage has closed a busy town centre road in Wokingham.

Firefighters are currently at the scene at Peach Street, which is closed between its junctions with Easthampstead Road and Denmark Street.

The diesel is leaking from a heavy goods vehicle, which is believed to have been involved in a collision.

It is expected that this road will be closed until 6.30pm today once the diesel spillage has been cleaned up.

A Wokingham Borough Council spokesman said: "The alternative route for all vehicles affected by this closure will be via Binfield Road, Keephatch Road, Warren House Road, Forest Road, A321 Twyford Road, Matthews Green Road, Commons Road, Old Forest Road and A329 Reading Road, or by this route reversed.

"Access for residents and business users located within the boundary of the closure will be maintained at all times."
