Dear All
The A488 at Hope Valley will be closed from June 30th to August 22nd 2025, for landslip repairs. This is a full 24/7 closure.
• The 553 bus will continue to operate, but there will be a shuttle bus from the Hemford junction around the Stiperstones to Plox Green.
• Access for residents and farmers will be permitted with a resident pass, being delivered now and over the next few days.
• Deliveries will be permitted if communicated to the road closure by the residents.
• The closure will be 24 hours, and the roadblocks will be staffed 24/7. The road will have large vehicles on it and areas of road missing. It will not be safe to use it, hence the 24/7 closure.
There will be 24 hr gate men for safety reasons.
• There will be signage to prevent HGVs from using the side (single track) roads and causing chaos!
