DRIVERS face delays in Sopley in the New Forest during July and August while Wessex Water repairs sewers in the village.

Work is expected to take about five weeks and the firm will send a robot along the sewer so it does not have to dig the road up.

Work will be carried out in Derritt Lane, Priest Lane and under the B3347, between Priest Lane and the Woolpack pub.

Temporary traffic lights will be used in Derritt Lane and on the B3347. All work is expected to be carried out Monday to Friday.
