Shropshire Council will take the opportunity to look at the works required to repair the 3-4 landslips there. Highways, WSP contractors who draw up schemes and others will all be onsite.It is then hoped that the work will then be carried out in June and July for 4 to 6 weeks.
A site will be set up (with a QR code) for people to be able to track the works.
A490 – Chirbury to Churchstoke
There will be officers on site investigating the stability of the rock on the edge of the slip. They will be using ropes to hang over the edge to do this. There may also be further drilling on the carriageway to check the rock there. It is thought to be stable – from previous work. A scheme will them be drawn up and – again they say work should be carried out this summer.
Best wishes
