The road has been closed in both directions

A main road in an Aylesbury Vale village has been closed overnight after damage to an electricity pylon has caused a live cable to fall onto the road.

Thames Valley Police in the early hours of this morning (23 February) confirmed a closure on the A41 and Clayfield Road crossroads by the Holiday Inn that is near to Aston Clinton.

Witness reports state traffic is moving slowly along Aston Clinton Road as a result of the closure and motorists are being forced to take diversions down the nearby New Road.
