A LORRY has blocked a road causing delays near Seven Dials this morning.

The vehicle got stuck trying to get round the corner of Bath Street and Howard Place in Brighton at about 8.30am today.

Traffic was queuing back to Buckingham Place and the junction of Chatham Place.

A passer-by instructed the lorry driver to reverse back out of Howard Place and into Bath Street.

Drivers are warned the delays could last some time while the lorry manoeuvres around parked cars. The delay comes after diversions were put in place while work goes on to overhaul the Seven Dials roundabout.
