A spokesperson for the council said: "The closure will remain in place for public safety while these works are carried out, and the council is awaiting confirmation from Seven Trent Water on an anticipated completion timescale."Mr Stewart said: "The other day I came from Oadby and I had to go into Kibworth to come back to Fleckney - that's going right out of the way just because of the road situation.
