A planned set of roadworks in Ipswich, which was delayed once before, is facing further pushbacks.

Devonshire Road was originally meant to be closed between 8am and 6pm from September 9 until September 11 for repairs. 

However, Suffolk Highways later announced the carriageway resurfacing would be postponed due to cars still being placed in the street. 

The closure was rescheduled to take place Thursday, October 3 but the work has been hit with further delays.

A spokesman for Suffolk Highways said: "Carriageway resurfacing along Devonshire Road has been postponed.

"This is due to adverse weather this week delaying progress on a previous scheme, and to avoid a knock-on effect throughout our carriageway resurfacing programme.

"We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will provide an update regarding a revised date as soon as possible."

It is the second set of roadworks to be delayed in the town this week. 

A planned closure of Lyndhurst Avenue was delayed due to wet weather.
