All this rain has caused us a real headache now. They are having to work to avert landslips down the steep sides on to the A6 at a place called Barmoor Clough. Causing long tail backs & traffic chaos.
Local traders are claiming a seriously detrimental effect on their vital Christmas trade.
Bus users do not know how long they will have to wait in the rian for a bus – make up your own timetable, it’s anyone’s guess, & the poor bus drivers are getting it in the neck.
When I went searching the web for a picture I found that Barmoor Clough has a bit of a history of disaster.
