Residents have raised their concerns about traffic disruption following a partial closure to Rosehill roundabout from today (March 09).

It has been confirmed that St Helier Avenue on the A217 is closed for repair work following a water leak.

Water Supply company SES confirmed that work could take up to five days. 

Residents have since taken to Facebook to complain about the repair work.

One person said: "3 months of lockdown no roadworks. First day of school and roadworks started all dual carriageway and Rosehill roundabout blocked.

Your Local Guardian:

"Just wondering who makes these decisions unbelievable."

Another person said: "Absolute chaos! Trying to get from Morden to Sutton 1 hour!"

In a statement online, SES said: "A section of the A217 at Rose Hill roundabout, is closed so we can safely carry out repairs to a burst main.

"We are sorry for the inconvenience this will cause, but the safety of our workforce and other road users is our priority concern."
