Motorists are told to avoid the A4 due to a smoke plume causing poor visibility past the scene.

Locals are also being advised to close their windows and doors.

In a statement, Wiltshire Police said: “Please be advised that the fire service have multiple appliances who are currently dealing with a field fire at West Overton Marlborough.

”The smoke is causing poor visibility on the A4 and members of the public are advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes.”
