'Chemical leak' hotel evacuated
A hotel in Marlborough, Wiltshire, has been evacuated after a suspected chemical leak.
Fire crews and police were called to the Ivy House Hotel on the High Street just after 0830 GMT and put a cordon around the building.
Traffic was being diverted away from the area around the hotel onto Kingsbury Street.
