Crews have been dealing with a fire at an industrial estate which has been affecting traffic on the M25.

Hertfordshire Fire Service is asking people to avoid the area around Station Approach and Waltham Cross railway station due to the warehouse fire.

On an X post, the service advised nearby residents to close windows and doors.

Travel information service Inrix said there was slow traffic on the anticlockwise carriageway of the M25 between junction 26 for Waltham Abbey, in Essex, and junction 25 for Enfield in north London/Cheshunt in Herts. A 40mph speed limit was in place earlier.
