As a result, part of Horsemarket is closed heading towards St Peter's Way roundabout and heavy traffic is building throughout the town.

Meanwhile, the borough council has advised that the Mayorhold has now reopened after police shut the car park during the incident.

However, cars that exit the car park onto Greyfriars will be unable to turn onto Horsemarket.

Commuters will only be able to turn left on Horsemarket down towards St Peter's Way.

It is believed Horsemarket has now fully reopened according to official traffic reports.

Updates to follow.
