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 - but police say the one hundred metre cordon is 'purely as a precaution at this stage'.
