PART of a road in Newport will be closed due to a water leak, while repairs are ongoing.

A small section of Bank Street near Glebelands Park is due to close next week to allow Dwr Cymru Welsh Water to repair a water leak.

A spokesperson for Dwr Cymru confirmed that the road serves a local primary school so the work has been "planned for half-term".
