A force spokesman said there was a partial closure in place on Dale Street – which leads into Water Street – between North John Street and Exchange Street. Traffic was filtered down Exchange Street to stop vehicles getting onto Water Street and a flatbed truck and traffic cones were used as a barrier, the spokesman said.
