I have just found a really nice guy putting up road closure signs on the B4386 in Chirbury. They are closing the road now for potholing - all the way to the Marton turning. Two and a half miles or so.

Fixing potholes fine - closing roads again with no notice is totally unacceptable!.

Did they tell the school transport? Or the Service bus? No of course not.

Shropshire Highways propose to carry out repair work to Rea Bridge on the B4499, Brockton.

The work is programmed to start on Monday, 30^th November 2020 and is expected to last for up to 5 days.

The normal working hours will be between 09:30am to 16.30pm Monday to Friday.

Due to the nature of the repairs a 24 hr road closure will be required for the duration of the works. While the road is closed, traffic will be diverted via B4386, B4387 and B4499 by a signed diversion

Heather Kidd has written in exasperation to the CEO of Severn Trent Water after a litany of misery inflicted on residents of her Division by the Company's repair gangs over the last three years.

Heather said; "Severn Trent repair teams do not seem to have any regard for the law or local residents. They frequently turn up unannounced, without any permit and try and close a road. In rural areas, this frequently has a major impact on the life of our communities as the subsequent detours are very long and bus companies and school buses are seldom consulted. Snailbeach and Stiperstones have particularly suffered in this respect.
