Hello there. It is Friday evening and the Bank Holiday weekend is upon us.

The major fire and explosion in Redditch today caused congestion but thankfully in the last hour Piper Road has been reopened. For more details about the blaze check out www.redditchadvertiser.co.uk.

There is now a lot of congestion in Rubery as one lane of the A38 has been closed due an overturned car. 

The M42 is moving slowly as is the M6.

The weather this weekend sadly will not be as hot as we would like but temperatures will rise but rain is predicted tomorrow, Sunday and Monday.
