AN overturned lorry on the A31 Ringwood Road is causing traffic delays this afternoon.

The emergency services are attending to the lorry, which was carrying waste paper, on the northern side of Palmersford Roundabout.

Police confirm delays on all approaches. Congestion is reported on the A31 Eastbound and B3072.

The lorry has been righted but is still waiting recovery.

It is anticipated that the roundabout will have to close for around an hour later on for this to take place.

Only the inside lane of the A31 will remain open.
