Paramedics were called to Barnacres Road in Hemel Hempstead at 1.47pm after the woman, believed to be in her 40s, fell between 10 and 15ft from scaffolding.

A spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Service said she has suffered a head injury but it is not thought to be life-threatening.

Herts Air Ambulance was called and landed nearby, but stood down before the woman was taken to Watford General Hospital by land ambulance for further treatment.
