Scottish Water has delayed this evening's scheduled "emergency" sewer repairs on the corner of Strothers Lane and Academy Street in Inverness – after an intervention from Highland Council.
Less than two hours ago, Scottish Water outlined its intention to carry out the works, which would have seen Strothers Lane closed between the bus station and Academy Street from 7pm.
But a Scottish Water spokesman has said issued a statement to say the work will no longer take place today.
He said: "The council has raised a query and asked us to reschedule the work for a later date, which we will advise you of once confirmed."
He apologised for the "miscommunication".
