A street in Burnham's been cordoned off by police because of a bomb scare.

A 36 year old man's been arrested after officers raided a house on Beatty Way with a warrant under the Explosives Act - at about quarter to eight this morning.

People are being advised to avoid the area while bomb disposal experts assess the scene.

Police say the one hundred metre cordon is 'purely as a precaution at this stage' - and evacuations are being considered.
