Fury in UK town as road closure forces locals on 12-mile detour to get to shops | UK | News
The angry peasants say that repairing a historical bridge damaged last winter floods has been halved for almost a year.
The partial collapse of a 200 -year -old bridge divided Bronygarth in Shropshire twice, and the left inhabitants faced a 12 -mile journey to the shops.
Some even faster than traveling to the nearest shop in the UK, because the boundary for materials goes to Wales. Since the bridge’s railing was swept by Storm Bert last November, 2,000 indigenous people have been living with dolambaç.
Residents claim that the Council’s Red-Tape delays emergency repairs, that is, there is no end to the appearance of the deterioration. Authorities estimated that the correction would take 17 weeks, but after more than 10 months, the landlords are still waiting for the business to start.
The Shropshire Council apologized to the residents and said that they “negotiated ile with the landowners to reach the damaged bridge. In the meantime, the inhabitants say that they are stuck in a nightmare.
Retired writer and illustrator Simon Greaves has been living in the village for 70, 42 years, but the current situation is a “disaster ..
Three Great Bababa said: “We are currently on the wrong side of heresy.
“If I wanted to travel to Oswestry, I couldn’t travel to the east.
“There is no parking and riding here, but there is a park and walk. Not more than 50 meters with real damage. This is just a narrow strip, so there is no possibility of passing any vehicle.
“Storm Bert caused this local disaster. We were told that it would last 17 weeks, but the contractors came and went again.”
He added another resident: “It’s like a mini -locking and really very sad. Basically, we’re stuck in a nightmare.
Paul Wright, 66 -year -old Paul Wright, retired site care worker, said he hoped to solve the closure soon.
He said: “At first it was like a bomb site, we were worried about walking. You can see why cars were not allowed. I think it may take years to repair it.
“Other houses trapped on the other side have to go down a steep one -way road that should be terrible.
“It’s not like being in a town with another road to go, but you have to go to another way to reach where you want to go, and it takes time.”
The Shropshire Council said that negotiations took place with Woodland Trust to provide ancient forest areas with protected ancient forests, and that it complies with environmental and legal requirements.
“The Shropshire Council understands the disappointment of the local community and apologizes to the discomfort caused by the delay in the repair work required to reopen the road.
“The negotiations continue with Woodland Trust to ensure that the repair method protects an old forests and to comply with the environment and legal requirements.
