A solution had not been agreed at that time and the 6-wk road closure has not been ruled out, although it is a last resort. Hopefully a better solution will be agreed soon. Once a decision has been made, there will be a […]

[Read More...]The proposed closure of the road through Colestocks (from near the end of the Payhembury-Colestocks footpath, through the centre of Colestocks and down to Shoots Barn) is still being discussed by all of the relevant parties.

A number of options are being revisited to see if they can be made to work and the time it is taking to find the best viable option is an indication of how complicated this issue is. Dates have […]
