Nottingham city centre has been cordoned off as police investigate “major” incidents.

Members of the public have been urged to avoid several roads while trams are suspended due to “major police incidents around the city and suburbs’.

The cause of the incident is not immediately known. Roads shut include Ilkeston Road, Milton Street, Maples Street, and Woodborough Road, from the junction with Magdala Road into the city.

Chief Inspector Neil Humphries said: “Officers are currently on scene at multiple road closures due to an ongoing incident.

“Please avoid these areas as they are expected to remain closed for some time.”

The Telegraph has contacted police for further comment.
