A landslip has led to the temporary closure of an unclassified road from Bere Ferrers to Lopwell Dam.

Notice has been given by Devon County Council for the temporary prohibition of traffic order from now until Sunday, July 12.

The order states ‘no persons shall proceed on the section of the affected unclassified road except for access to land or premises on or adjacent to that length of way.

“The order will continue in force for a period not exceeding six months or until the works have been completed, whichever is the sooner.”

There is no alternative route and the temporary closure is necessary in the interest of public safety following a landslide and partial collapse of the path.
