PART of St James Street in Taunton is currently closed while Western Power fixes an electrical fault.

The road is closed to traffic from the junction at Debenhams up to the turning opposite The Ring of Bells.

One of the Western Power workers explained that they were fixing a high voltage cable failure and although he did not say when the road should be re-opened, he said 'it will be a while yet'.

The closure is apparently causing traffic problems around the town.

We'll keep you updated.
